The Shack

Another great one Dana!

beautiful! great lines and tones!

nice bleak shot

Beautiful shot, the shot is perfect for monochrome

WOW just beautiful

great capture, it might be beyond repair, but at least you have photos of it, looks great in B/W

Great tone – I had a similar old building near where I grew up – we should keep these places.

You’ve isolated this well and the treatment adds to that feel.

mm perfect depth and tones, i would feel as you do, glad someone thought to let it stand on it’s own!

Great image, youn have managed to capture the mood just perfectly!!

great shot very well done

this is great, nice work

Fantastic.

Great photo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is a wonderful shot Dana.. and i am very glad that the shack didnt get pulled down, they really add to an area, we have a few around here too..

Brilliant shot I really like the composition

and great to think that you’ve captured it for eternity – even if it does fall down.

I love this old shack, great shot!

This is a wonderful photo great use of the B&W and lovely composition
Good job

thats very interesting, unique, and VER good, Dana. Good capture

so simple and beautiful :)

How AMAZING. I love old run down buildings. I’m totally buying this print when I get money.

An amazing desolate image, thanks

fantastic image, My kind of place indeed. I wish I could have saved an old foundry I visited twice last year. Poor old thing was torn down recently. thanks for sharing this, it made me happy!

superb work.. in black and white.. great detail..

great shot

excellent composition! outstanding BW capture!

great place – great perspective

Beautiful b/w!!

This looks like such a fantastic place to have grown up. I remember as a kid having a cave near the beach house of my grandparents. This cave was visited daily by my cousins and I and we believed it to be a pirates cave and used to regularly look for the pirate ship to come back. I still love visiting this cave and feel so much of my childhood energy when I am there.

The picture of your shack seems to exude the passion that you would have had as a child I would imagine.

This is so dramatic !! I love the lighting and forgotten abdoned look it makes you feel. At the same time you feel as though it held so much love and its in thought. Very Beautiful !! Very Emotional !!

Nice shot!
Looks like you might have got wet?

Beautiful photo. Looks fantastic in mono. Well seen & captured!

I love this photo!
Great clarity and B&W’s.
The foggy background is awesome.
I love the level of dilapidation (disrepair) of the building.
The soggy field adds to the feel of the photo, almost forlorn.

I love it

greatness..

This is very cool Dana!

Fantastic composition makes an awesome shot!

great shot well done.

Brilliant photo presentation Dana. Your composition is perfect and the added value of the personal connection to this shack adds alot of extra interest to the work. Brilliant black and white work and the dimention added by the reflection of the water is superb.

Wonderful capture and post process. Love this!

A fascinating shack-scape!
Excellent tones throughout the piece and nicely balanced!
Well done, Dana!

this is good Dana ~ great perspective, great treatment too

Stunning, sad, spooky image. Great b/w work.

lovely

Sara,
This is a great shot!!
We, too, had an old barn that seemed to be held up by god and each year we thought it would fall. And people, also, kept propping it up w/boards. But, one year, it finally surrendered and went to that large farm in the sky. It became fertilizer for the trees that will compose the next bar, lol.
beautiful
buddy

:-)
Sorry, Dana. I was thinking of her when I was writing to you, forgive me. But, all of the other words are correct.
buddy

ABSOLUTELY SUPER SHOT.

so much feeling attaches to this image Dana, great capture

i simply love the water filled furrows. superb tones. wow. great b/w photography. excellent work with the sky gradient as well. bravo.

Great shot and treatment. Terrific composition. Perfect in black and white. Love it.

perfect dreamy image

worn out dreams… this is stunning!!!!

bleak, but beautiful shot

absolutely beautiful

hi Dana I love this type of work a simple style with lots of power the water is a great lead in,the minimalists sky makes this a winner for me

i love your tones and comp here. the placement of the shack is perfect.

part of the photographer’s craft is to recognise what is going on around them and simply record before such things pass away

I appreciate the choice of this image, as is indeed a landmark ocassion

Love the atmosphere you captured here!

Fantastic capture, the whole image works so well.

Dramatic photo. The high contrast combined with a decaying subject combine to form a beautiful piece of work. The gradient in the sky is a nice touch and adds to the photo.
What a frame! Thanks for sharing!

Great atmosphere, very bleak. Wonderful contrasts.

wonderful! I really like the moody solitude.

beautiful… I love how you handled the sky.

I imagine this image as being taken in the Dawn, it gives my a perspective of this structure surviving to see another Dawn, With the Myst or almost Fog, thought Diminishing, I’m impressed with the thought of a Ghost, perhaps not of the people connected to the structure, but more related to the era and period of History when once the vibrancy of Usefulness, that it was built well to withstand the years of abandonment perhaps it could represent a time of pride in workmanship, and simplicity of life.

Amazing mood and a great photo.
that foreground is just beautiful
Thanks for your visit.

I am surprised this shack is still standing! Great shot,amazing composition, and contrast!

I love this image, well done.

wonderful old shack! It looks a little like it was burned…though probably just old age. I like how you captured the rows of water – makes it look more homey.

Great shot:)

this is a totally awesome photo with great story telling!!!!

Beautiful shot.

Great composition and great shot.

amazing composition ! so beautiful in black and white

You capture more than a shack, what is capture here is dying from cancer. Like a metaphor for the illness. People always read the shot and how good it is, I like to read beyond what you see.

It reminds us how close we all are to a Steinbeck Novel

i like it :) lovely in bl/white greetings

Wow! THis image is great so isolated and alone!

one of the best of it’s genre!

Excellent perspective, lines and image. My choice for the avatar

I really love the mood and feel to this image, I can see why you would want to keep this old shack still standing, it’s wonderfully evocative. Very well done! :)

Congratulations on getting runner up in the contest. This is great!

Great barn, great black and white shot Dana, well done!

beautiful

Congratulations on your runner up spot in the comp – well done

So beautiful…great capture :)

This piece of art Dana brings me back the old days of film… :=)

wonderful composition b&w works great with this

Works so well in B&W love the feel and texture you get from this shot.

Awesome capture!!1

Great capture dana..
love the leading lines in the swampy forground

Brilliant capture , well done.

Great capture!

this is fantastic…there almost comes across a fondness in this image and I look at this old shack and just smile! Congratulations Dana

Everything about this is perfect…I love old stuff

great image, so atmospheric

this has a real eery feel to it. Love this image :) Voted for in the abandonment challenge. Congrats on being in the top 10!

Congradulations on your top 10, nice capture.

A stark and bleakly beautiful image. The rain puddles in the old furrows add to the feeling of desolation.

Great shot. I love ramshackle, falling down buildings.

Beautiful work, Dana!

Congratulations your work has been featured in The Woman Photographer

Love this type artwork…it tells a story…marvelous shot!!!!!!!!!! xoxooxoxoxo

Beautiful capture!

Wonderful compostion and tonal qualities…. congrats!!! I have seen many of these on our old homesteads…...our history, our heritage,,,

this is such a classic pic, especially in the chosen color, it does it justjce. good for you, protecting this ‘ol guy. I say leave him alone until he falls! nice job. congrats on the feature.

Gorgeous capture! I pass by this every weekend on my way to LBI!

Great B & W imagery ! Nice perspective, moody skies and visual impact.

Congratulations on the top 10 win. I’m surprised this is on Long Beach Island, I guess that’s why they want to tear it down, such valuable land these days. Nice redition.

Nicely done Dana. So glad it wasn’t torn down as it still has some fight left!

I think what makes this work so well is the inhospitable terrain and inclining fence.
we are drawn towards the building, but know that we could never go there.
Great composition

Hi Dana !! this piece is my pesronal winner in Tone it down challenge !
congrats !
