Not much editing here; opened in RAW, boosted saturation a little bit and dodged the house to brighten it up a bit.

The composition in this is very strong. The fence leads the eyes up and into the frame and to the house -- that is very effective at getting "everything" in the frame viewed and it keeps the shot from feeling static. I also like that the fence doesn't divide the frame evenly. There is more on the right than on the left, and it causes just enough "unbalance" to be interesting, but not enough to throw the viewer off.

The focus seems to be off just a teeny tiny bit. It doesn't look soft, but it does have that "edge" to it that can happen from resizing, or from adjusting exposure. It is almost a "graininess," but not true grain. Also, my first impression was that you attended "DrAchoo's school of saturated green." (No insult to him; he is a far better photog than I, but he does seem to like bright green). The more I've looked at it, the less "shocking" that it is, but it still seems to be a bit much.

Overall, a pretty good shot that does meet the challenge, I think.

Please feel free to contact me if I need to further clarify or explain myself.

The photo seems to drag the eye off to the left too much. I think there is too much nothing on the right.

nice saturated colors , however I feel that the image needs to have a more unique element to score higher - 6
