When the photographer finds an interesting subject their objective should be how to interpret it not now to record it.  If we only record the scene we have merely created a snap shot, but if the photo-artist is able to make the subject tell a story that grabs the viewers imagination then we have a photograph.

This photographer has elected to place his subject in the environment in such a way that the landscape reinforces the story of this old cabin.  You will note the photographer did not fill the frame with the building but rather placed it off to the one third vertical line and left the rest of the scene filled with the expanse of the mountains.  He also let part of the old structure be obscured by vegetation which adds to the feeling of abandonment in the wild.

I like the sway back curve of the roof line and the slope of the side walls which give a ‘Li’l Abner’ feeling to this shack.  I would like to see a little richer sky which could be done by selecting that area and modifying the levels on the computer.
