Oh, how do you get these glorious B&W so soft and smooth and clean? This one is somehow sensual. I'm staring and staring trying to figure out why. Thanks so much!

I relly like this picture. It so simple but the shadows makes it mysterious and complete

What an interesting building. It looks like it could have been a school or church at some point. I really like it perched on it's hill.

an old school house or something? i love the play of light here, and the tones are great, as usual.

A very interesting building superbly captured.... but it doesn't look like a residence. A great shot as always Grant!

Amazing light as others have pointed out. Such a sense of grandeur too, it almost feels like the house is proudly dreaming of its past.

A majestic beauty, Grant. And a beautiful symphony of light & shadows. The bricks look amazing. All the best & safe travels, Fritsch.

The long shadows and the lighting are great and the perspective too. Very well captured, Grant.

There is something radiant about this house and the way you angled this shot, how it faces upward. Has a feeling of hope about it. Nice shot.

Like the low angle of this shot. Excellent light and long shadows that create a kind of mysterious mood. Interesting structure, excellent composition.

an odd looking "house." No porch? Love the light though.

I love the eerie feel, and the distance between you and the structure add a certain tension to the frame. This is excellent and in my collection at vfxy.

Nice bricks and shadows. The building fades nicely on the right that brings me back to the composition.

Your low angle and the shadows are extraordinary. I see it's the male and female entrance style. I believe this is the first one I've seen in brick. All the others have been clapboard.

@sherri: thanks sherri. i remember you had a photo of a house with this door arrangement. i hadn't heard about it before, although i'd probably seen examples.
