Nicely done, James. The shot is moody, but as your eye wanders over that house, there really isn't anything that stands out to create the eerie mood. That create conflict - conflict in this type of shot is good. r

You might want to consider vignetting this to give it more of a dark, ominous feel. I expect Norman Bates to feel right at home here.

I like it a lot
i like the B+W. just curious... is your Depth of Field natural? or did you photoshop this?
I say that...b/c the DOF has a strange feel...that throws me off as i look at it...a little distracting from your comp. b/c i really like your composition!

Brett, Thank you for the comment. I did blur the edges to give the image a dreamy feel and to de-emphasize the tree branches. The entire original image was sharp even though I used 2.2 f/stop. I felt the image was hohum without the PS manipulation. I'll post the original.

This is great and I love the title. I'd be curious to see it in color but would bet the B&W is probably the better way to go. At first I was going to comment on the blurriness but since you did that for affect I won't, much. I don't mind the trees being blurry but I think the bush is a bit too blurry and for me it takes away from the picture, but not enough for me to change my rating.
