Simply beautiful! I love the detail of the brick, the vines with no leaves that engulf the structure and the ultimate sign of decay and desertion...the broken window. Now, nature will take over.

EYES WIDE SHUT from United Kingdom

I'd be happy with twelve significant photographs in a lifetime, let alone a year! Ha ha

This is stunning, Marcah, so full of details, and so beautifully observed and processed. Fabulous work

You seem to have a crop of at least 365 super images in a year. This one is no exception.

Fantastic, as usual, another masterpiece of sensitivity an processing. And very reasonable advice of A. Adams.

gavin hart from Gold Coast, Australia

The vines, mottled light and aged appearance give this image a pleasant soft appearance - brickwork can be so hard and uninteresting otherwise.

djedfre from schaumburg, United States

very cool! (you keep making me feel guilty that i've been neglecting my processed shots and montages!)

Twelvebit from Victoria, United States

Nice processing. There is something about the "12" in this context that is odd. And I expect that Adams and I have completely different concepts of significant when it comes to photos.

Nomad Flavor from Moreno Valley, United States

I like running into places such as this because it gets the mind working on the scene's significants and the need to record it as accurately as possible. You hit the mark with this capture. Very pleasing texturally and it almost carries the stench of dampness and age. My eyes got a treat from this one!
