Default Decyaing House

This is my first post in quite a while. This photograph is of an old falling apart house that sits just off the road in an open feild. What I would like critique on is the composition. What kind of feelings do you get when viewing it? How is the lighting? You may edit and repost but only on DPS.

Not sure why when I try to upload the picture loses a lot of information. Here is the link to my site where the photo is located:

You have certainly wet my appetite about seeing this picture. The suspense is almost unbearable! Where's the picture?

I followed the link to the shot, I think the BW works well in this picture but the title of the post says dacaying house. We cannot se a house, we see a part of a roof in a verry busy field. The house by it's self cannot be the main subject of this shot at least not in this angle.

I can see that the decaying house has been there for quite some time judging from the wild growth around it. I think it's a bit too hidden to stand alone without a mention that it is there. The b&w is working great for the shot. It just needs to show more of the existence of the house being there and decaying.

Barabe and freezeframe 03,

Thanks for the comments. I wasn't sure how to get the house and a potion of the field in this one to show the decay of the house and the separation between it and everything else around. I think I will go back and revisit the house and try that one again. It's only a mile up the road from where I live.
