    My All Time Favourite Beaten Up Old House

    This is a most wonderful house. I went for a slight tint in the processing and I elected to leave in the bits of telephone wires as they tended to suit the character of the pic. Any and all thoughts most welcome.

    That is indeed one very beaten up old house. Gorgeous. I think the way you've made the image suits it very well.

    Great decisions about composition and toning. I just love the television antenna and the detail in the grass and trees. Consider selecting the house and applying a fairly strong S-curve if your software allows you to do that. If not, apply a contrast or clarity slider.

    Great image Peter, so totally OZ.
    It has everything. antenna, telegraph pole, screen door, louvre windows and the 44 gallon drums.
    Obviously the beaten up old HQ Holden is just out of frame

    Probably along the lines of - an fantastic opportunity to aquire a well established unique detached property set in its own grounds with superb vistas in all directions; whilst having been quite extensively remodelled and extended over the years the structure is flexible enough to offer a purchaser with vision tremendous scope for bringing their own personality to bear on the property.

    Really nicely done. I like the tint - confers poignancy and age. A place to keep going back to for another version.
