I like this one best...all those different points of interest...abandoned area..ect. It does need to be straightened, though.

Thank you!
With straightening, do you mean the roof(s) should be as horizontal as possible?

Generally speaking, yes. I mean the horizon, which you soft of have to imagine with the house there. But yes, basically the roof is what is throwing it off.

Hi Notel. Sort of Agree with Beth. It's more the verticals with me, rather than the horizontals, but the end effect is probably going to be the same.
Contrast looks a bit big to me (although I'm looking at this on my un calibrated laptop, which could be throwing me out a bit)
There's a bit of chromatic aberration up in the top left between the dark and light areas of the twigs and sky. Dunno what gear you're using or whether you're shooting RAW or not (Adobe camera raw ACR can sort a lot of that out if you are)
White balance looks to be a little out with the blue reflections in the glass and combined with the overall overcooked contrast, the colours don't look right IMHO.
I'd be tempted, once straightened, to take a bit off the top and right and get that path leading the eye up to the door if possible. The door is entryway to the main subject of the house, and as such, is the primary story-telling focus of this shot.
If you can reduce the contrast to give the door some depth or definition, it could provide a lot more narrative for the main subject.
