Houses make for good photographic subjects, at least IMHO. The Australian landscape is filled with thousands of decrepit ones, just waiting to be captured.

Modern beauty

I really like the first image here ozi. Reminds me a lot of the house I live in...crooked! The house has a certain sadness about it which has only been helped by your tasteful b&w treatment.

Second image seems to lack a bit of contrast but has a film look about it which can work, maybe some local highlight dodging and shadow burning could help this one...

I too like the first ozi but I reckon it might have been better without the fussiness of the fence in the way

#1 is a classic. Good to record these before they disappear forever.

Number 1 is also for me

Thanks Nathan. Yes, this house reminds me of the shack we lived in on the NSW Central Coast when I was a little kid. I drove past the place a few months ago and it has been renovated.

As for the fence, I could have hopped over to take the photo, but the place looked as though a big rottie was lurking somewhere, ready to pounce and destroy any hapless photographer (or mailman) that wandered into the yard...
