 Haven't been into photography for too long so it's been driving me crazy trying to pick the one I like best out of the few I have taken in the past month. I've changed it several times and the one I chose is the one you see above. Hope someone enjoys it. I decided to put another that was taken 3 days ago in the March free study. Hope I didn't make a mistake by not entering it in this challenge, but I really liked it and thought it had more of a chance in the free study to rate higher. Hopefully?

The composition here doesn't do much form me, everything feels a little cut off.

Nice shot of the house. The bare trees make this shot a little busy though.

Lovely looking place to live the simple life in.

I wish the house were 'pointing' into the image instead of out. I also wish I were there. :)

composition is good. The color saturation is good. A little too much cyan saturation in the sky though. Overall subject matter just doesn't have sufficient "wow"

This would make a nice postcard. Could have been a little sharper. Nice color

A calendar-worthy photo, very nice.

Makes me want to visit this place. I wish the tree branches weren't obscuring the front of the house, but what are you gonna do about nature.

The reds really pop here.

This is nice but the trees don't seem to fit correctly.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

The red of the house draws the eye. Would have liked it more prominent.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 01:09:19 PM
Love the red in this.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 08:20:53 AM
Nice reds in the tree and the house.

Looks pretty fancy (house-wise) to me...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 08:49:09 PM
I first thought the house was on stilts. It kind of hides back in the trees there.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 08:35:38 PM
the trees in the foreground are a little distracting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 08:29:38 PM
love it! (the simple life and the picture!)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 02:54:48 PM
Good shot. Seems that the house isn't in focus to me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 08:25:41 AM
I like the red of the house, adds to this picture

Nice Autumn colours.

How do I get there? Nice setting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Really rather cluttered in the frame and also a bit cramped.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 11:42:16 PM
like the way the red leaves of tree stands out.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 11:19:39 PM
Lovely scene and appropriately titled.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 10:26:31 PM
Really pretty house! I just think the trees take up too much in this
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 09:05:32 PM
Beautiful place.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 08:38:40 PM
Looks so charming and peaceful.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 03:55:31 PM
wish the house was in sharper focus...otherwise an interesting composition
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 11:16:05 PM
i might have backed off a bit, just to make the scene seem a bit more sparse and unconfined
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 08:52:39 PM
Sorry, looks a bit like a real estate photo in the Sunday ads.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 06:52:02 PM
The color really pops. Nice.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 05:49:45 PM

Looks like an ad for a Bed & Breakfast. Nice capture.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 11:10:07 AM
I don't think the trees in the foreground add to the photograph.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 10:13:19 AM
nice shot, but a little too busy with the trees in the foreground.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
