These deserted houses served the miners and their families during the height of the Gold and Silver Rush. I took this with a view of what this family would see every summer morning as they awoke and headed for mines, a quick walk away. Almost made the winters worth it!, but living above 10,000 feet, would be too cold for me.Total grunge, as I wanted to present what it felt like to be there.........may have been a candidate for HDR, but I haven't tried HDR yet. Lots of shadow work and lens distortion correction. Hope you like it......Looking at the preview my colors may be saturated leaning to red, let me know, easy adjustment to make. Photoshop does this sometimes during conversion to sRGB.

Not only is this image very well done...there are so many images within the image. Spectacular colors in the fields...love the depth...the red tones in the wood are fine with me, I like the warmth...just enough shadow detail in the shadows of the rafters....and it's such a unique composition, hunched over or not! Almost a 3D triptych...it doesn't take much to imagine someone leaning over the railing, taking in the mountains and pondering the complexities of life. Well done!
