Here we have an old run down shack in a field of dandelions and weeds. There is a wood or a hedgerow in the back ground. I used the lines to focus the attention on the shack really well in this one. The darkness of the shack adds an air of mystery. You almost expect a Hollywood style jump scare at any moment.
