| the repeating and intersecting lines from the posts and siding and flag and windows and deck all work nicely together to maintain a theme. I just wonder about the very narrow vertical crop and the sharpness of the image. A lower angle on the initial shot may have provided a bit more potential for a wider vertical crop. |

| There is potential here, a slice of life, a place that is nowhere but everywhere. Good comments below on sharpness and shooting, though I might try it from a much lower angle, as well (but I have a preference for very low angles), perhaps even the level of a child's eyes. |

| Cool find :) As others have said its a little soft and am thinking the front post is a little overexposed. |

| I really like this composition and it reminds me of my childhood. I love the natural framing and for that reason might consider backing off a little on the white border (I like the small black one though). That board leading up to the front door sure is interesting too....nice capture of everyday. |

| I like this capture alot, I do think a bump in contrast could benefit even more =p |

| I can't add too much more than what you got. The only other thing that I would say is that the picture looks slightly out of focus. I'm one that likes to see sharp features in the main subject and nothing really jumps out at me. The light shining thru the flag is probably gorgeous and I think what might be cool would be if you could get closer to the house, and take a straight-on portrait shot of just the bench and the flag. |

| Very much like the way you show this Americana - good angle, drawing the eye down and towards the deteriorating porch and compensatory accumulata which haply abut the flag and period bench. I think you need the space on the left, but maybe minus the corner of the unseen window. Bright white pillar is good visually and symbolically. Your framing is distracting, though maybe intended to augment the lines in the picture, but I don't know what to suggest. Oh, and I can't tell that there is light coming from behind the flag - it looks just flattish grey. |

| Certainly looks like there is some construction going on here. Very intriguing. the B&W conversion feels a bit flat, wonder if it needs a slight boost in contrast. |

| Cool old house and it does speak americana, lots of story in this. i will agree with a previous poster that cropping the left a bit more so the porch support is a bit more in the third of the frame might strenghten the composition. |

| I think this certainly has a story to tell. To improve it, I would do what the others suggested and try shooting from closer to the ground. |

| Very interesting picture to look at. I love look at houses and imagining the type of people that live there. I wonder what the picture would have looked like from a lower perspective. |

| I feel the door closed, the house in change yet not accessible. The porch is there slightly welcoming yet the house reveals little. I am reminded by your photo that each image has a slightly different psychological association for each viewer. The visual story can vary widely depending on ones state of mind. The lack of light bespeaks sadness. |

| This almost looks like a doll house. Were you on a hill when shooting this? I would like to see a lower angle as to feel like I could step right into that scene. I do like the flag! That really adds great character to the shot along with the other fine woodworking. The tones seem a bit gray..maybe a bit more contrast but just a touch. |

| Like the corner with the bench, flag and window. Agree with previous suggestion of cropping a bit off the left, as this will emphasize the good corner better. |

| Kind of sweet and kind of sad at the same time. The board looks to be used to cross the porch which apparently gets wet when it rains. Or maybe they're doing renovation work? If you wanted to, you could crop a bit off the left side, closer to the top support on the house - see if you like it better that way. |

I was wondering why the flag's blue field looked that way and then I read your comments.... OOoohh!
I love the tones! Great job! Was this shot in B&W? |
