Ok, someone said they would like this in Sepia, so I did that this time with the view from the other side. I have one more view left to post which is the front side straight on. I was on horseback for this parting shot, so just a smidgeon of the roof got missed and it's as difficult to photo from a moving horse as it is from an auto! I'll post up the original in a workshop if I get time.

PP--converted to smaller size, darkened and contrasted, then did 'old photo' filter, then darkened and contrasted again for further aging.

Hi Gary...I think this one is rather dark, but the 'old filter' seems to have done just as it sounds it might do...nice effect!

I'm so jealous, cool old buildings and on horseback for your photo. I would love to have just one old building like this, you have so many where you live.
I really like the sepia tones on this one, it makes it look proper for the age of the building. So many little details for future photos, good lighting and I really like the POV of this one. I like the way the porch looks, the single chair makes it look lonely but it looks proper at the same time.

I like it - great PP and frameworks, well presented.

HI Gary
At first I thought it was rather dark as well, but the more I looked at it,the details started to show,so I think this has turned into a good shot from the horse, like the aging you have done and it does fit era you have tried to create.

Saeed

Both images look great. the sepia gives it an 'old' feel. Great picture and great pp work! TFS

Gary
I agree with some comments that this is rather dark and lacks definition. But, as your intention was to make it look like and old photo, this is what you achieved and as we can see from the workshop, it is not a reworked bad photo.
Well done and TFs
Andrei

Excellent compo and sepia tones. Interesting old look. Original.

TFS,

I like the colours of the original although the sepia is very appropriate for the style of this capture. This way it looks even more neglected!
Great composition, nice framing
