I'm loving the sky and the clouds on the mountain top.

I think the foreground is a little too dark and/or fuzzy. If it was me I would select from the roof down and boost the levels and the sharpness.

This is a really great shot. I love the warm colours of the roof and the walls, and the beautiful bright sky and clouds in the background. It's like a painting.

The subdued light, beautiful tones and textures, the veil of cloud and the overall composition make this a great image.

Looks like a painting. The colors are unreal. Great shot.

I really like this shot! The cloud covering the mountain top looks like it could be smoke coming out of a chimney at the back of the house.

There is a certain sadness about an abandoned house. Remember:
Don't cry because its over, smile because it happened!

My mom(my greatest fan) had this picture enlarged, framed and stuck it on her wall. Which came out very well.
