Okay, now I can share a suggestion. I looked closely at this photo for awhile and I'm afraid there is not much I can do with it. I think it comes down to the trees that obscure the building. There is just too much going on there.
Having said that, I did make a few small changes to the edit, but these are just band-aids.
I would really like to get inside the building, specifically the second floor where the roof is partially missing. I think that room might be extra special with some nice decay to work with. Or maybe a much wider shot with this building smaller in the frame to show what is hopefully a vast, uninhabited tract surrounding the home.
Ok but I'm to dam chicken to just walk in an empty house that's been abandoned, you see I have PTSD after a traumatic injury, from someone trying to kill me, so being said, I will try and do what I can to get that wider shot, my brother ordered me some filters for my birthday, but once I get these I would like to have a new shot coming from this house!
I find this image very appealing, Bobby! Can't agree with Phillip here (I usually tend to). To my eye, the rather scrappy, sparsely-leafed trees are almost part of the building, rather than obscuring it, perhaps giving a sense of embracing it.
I'd maybe have moved left a bit, turned to the right, and left more space on the right of the building, but omitted those nearby leaves (maybe you couldn't see them if you didn't have 100% viewfinder).
This has been approximated in my edit. I wouldn't crop a micron off that Turneresque sky! I've emphasised it by cropping the bottom a little.
This is what I like about this site. People can agree or disagree without the usual internet flame wars. And I think your crop may be winning me over. It feels more light and airy than my ground-emphasis.
Hi Bobby, I think you have done a wonderful job with this image. I think the composition is good, other than the removal of the branch at the edge of the frame as Chris points out.
I think the trees overtaking the building are an integral part of the image and solidify the feeling of neglect and decay. I typically like my abandoned building to be much less saturated (to help convey age) or black and white but this seems to work for others.
I'd love to see this as part of a series as I'm sure there are other angles that would provide interest. I also agree with Phillip that if you can gain entrance there may be further opportunities, but this may not be worth it if putting your health at risk (the experience should be fulfilling....).
I can see this working both in color and black and white, so recommend you consider having different copies to project different moods.

Philip thanks my friend for your help on everything criticise anytime!

Nit-picking, anyway - I love it!

And I lied, on reflection - I've cropped more than a micron of sky on the left... ;-(
You goddamned liar!
