Critique and Advice needed!

[R.T.]

This old shack caught my eye the other day while going to visit some friends so I had to snap a few pics of it. I really like the B&W verison best but then I like the color because of the old green roof and pine trees. What do you all think looks best, color or B&W? Also any critique is welcome because I'm new and would like to learn what I'm doing wrong. Thanks!

I like both. In the color one, the dead tree plays against the "dead" beat up shack. I looks a little out of focus thought.

Thanks kjonnnn,

yeah, I like the look of the old tree also and I agree that its a little out of focus. I was standing on a pile of junk to take the pic, so I'm sure there was some camera movement on my part, oops!

Thanks again for the input!
