nice series but watermark is a bit too "distracting BIG". try a smaller watermark
 

like the out of focus blur background,it is sad to know this kampong is slowly fading away from us, my grandchild would not know what a kampong means

the owner must be very sad to lose it all, though there is nothing i can do, but i really there is some light for her, image staying at a place for almost your entire life span n to lose it all,image the pain

freedom is a sacre in modern living, how best to prove this point, is by this letter box,u need no key

Wow...I would love to pay a visit there. My only concern is whether the people who stays there are comfortable with outsiders taking photographs there or not.

1954 refers to the earlier 4-digit postal code.

wow where is this abandoned house?
 

That's a really unique and nice place. Your colored photos are alright. BUT

Your B&W photos are very noisy, if you do it on purpose it's not really nice. Your watermark is extremely big and distracting. Watermarks are not for show, it's a digital signature of the original creator. It tends to be very small and at a corner to indicate that is photo is copyright and should never be used by others unless permission given.

they should take better care of the place,so much dirt on it

 

Yes, pls go VERY EASY on the watermark. it's too big and distracting. and IMHO, there's a very strong lack of composition in most pictures.
