"The moment always dictates in my work. What I feel, I do. This is the most important thing for me. Everybody can look, but they don't necessarily see. I never calculate or consider; I see a situation and I know that it's right, even if I have to go back to get the proper lighting."

22 Mar 2011 1:01pm

Rick from Toronto, Canada

Oozing history and character through its sagging angles; those shutters are a testament to the years. I love this saturation, the texture, that bit of tree in the foreground.

22 Mar 2011 1:11pm

Fraucha from БІЛА ЦЕРКВА, Ukraine

Beautiful treatment on this, I love these old buildings, even if they can be an eyesore they are fun to photograph and wonder .... so YOUR cottage huh?

22 Mar 2011 1:19pm

@Fraucha: well, i was asked if I lived there ... :) who knows who lived in it , i only heard that that house was abandoned after NATO bombing of Serbia in 1999.

Denny Jump Photo from Easton, PA, United States

Amazing! A cool composition here and I am amazed partly because the old structure seems to have has such a storyand all the components of it are old of course.....but the house number sign "90" looks as new as a freshly-minted Loonie....wild!

22 Mar 2011 6:03pm

Williams from Nova Scotia, Canada

Of life photograph...In my opinion, the story of this house is more important than texture or light.

Beautiful house, the magnificence of which, strangely, lies in the outdatedness!! As what the decline can become an asset, here is which should reassure the women who age, lol! Colors are sensational and the neatness emphasizes every stone. How of ahbitude, it is mastered and magnificent, MARIANA, Bravo!!

23 Mar 2011 12:58am

DULCIE from Danville, CA, United States

Vivid and lovely. This looks like a painting rich with the

L'explorateur from Vancouver, Canada

The first thing I looked at were the two windows: they looked like bidimensional! :D So weird :D There are so many layers on this wall and the color mix is so much enjoyable, even if it's abandoned. I think it's beautiful. Have a good day, Mariana. :)
