Nicely done.

I like the colouring very much...against a nearly changing environment, it is a very clean shot...almost technical...

Tank you both for looking and your comments, Bob

Very clear and sharp. Nice photo.

Wonderful texture and colour.

A couple of things maybe worth considering:

1. It's a pity the sky is blown. If you could've held the right hand end of the histogram just inside the 255 (white) point, then you could've got some detail in that sky, which I think would have enhanced the image.
2. The building is right in the centre of the frame. I wondered if a crop at the right would help by moving it off-centre. Also, not sure that we need so much of the grass in the foreground.
3. Finally, that wire running out of the frame at the top. If you wanted this to be a keeper, would it be worth cloning that out?

Bob, I like the dilapidated look to the house and the mowed grounds. I would consider reshooting with,
as Donald mentioned, a better sky and maybe back off a bit to show more of the grounds.
Work the scene, taking numerous images to see what works the best.

Hello Bob: This is an interesting subject in a beautiful setting. As Donald mentioned, the blown sky detracts from the image. Perhaps, some manipulation in post processing would be helpful. I also agree that the centred composition is not the best view. It looks like the house has other interesting viewpoints around the front of the building. I think the image would be improved if you could capture the building without showing the electrical wires.
