This is a favorite subject. I've watched this farmstead deteriorate over the years as I drive along I-55.

Nice motif shot and taken at a good angle for nice balance.

Nice one Paul! It looks quite inviting to me and makes me wonder what stories it could tell.

Nice feel of abandonment. The tree seems to have died with the house. Even the dull sky helps out.
My only nit, try a slightly lower angle to include more of the rusted fence, or shoot through it to get the flowers closer in the fore ground.
I might be tempted to eliminate the power lines to make it feel even older.
