This shot would be better if the highlights weren't so bright

Image seems more about the foliage than the building in my opinion.
Perhaps a little more angle on the building would help the composition.
As a suggestion, try taking the image into Photoshop (assuming you have it), and in the Hue/Saturation adjustments, take the yellow channel hue and saturation to the right a little (may 10 pts) and bright the lightness down a bit (10-20 pts) to give the yellows more of a darker, richer green look, and bring the red saturation up just a little.

Can't really see the buliding, but the trees I can.

This image is neat, But i think there isd too much grass around the building, but nice shot

the trees make it hard to see the subject, maybe next time shoot the house on a side where the trees don't obstruct as much.
the sky needs more color, i would suggest a polarizing filter.
also, the subject is in the dead center of the picture. try the rule of thirds next time.

I think the color saturation distracts from the composition.

This is a lovely picture, but doesn't feel abandoned. Also, too centered - crop all open area from the right?

Too much tree to see through. The building looks interesting but it's just to hard to pick out. I do like the color though.

Not bad. I like the colors and detail. I think a different view, one without the trees in the way, might have worked better.

The photo looks washed out because of the contrast from the sun/sky. I also find the trees to be very distracting and takes a lot away from the building. I'm also not fussy on the size you have chosen (640x640). I find it gives an unnatural perspective to the photo. Good luck in this challenge.

A little too much in the foreground, more of the building could help maybe.

You've got a good idea going here. Catching the foiage/trees does ad some interest and nice vivid green coloring here, but in this case it might be just a bit too much. Seems to be kind of obscuring your main subject a little too much. Perhaps also framing out a bit of the foreground grass might help some too. Maybe keeping in mind the idea, but finding a different angle/perspective, showing more of the structure, but still with some trees/greenery would make for a stronger photo.
