 My husband runs a real estate photography business, this is one of his houses he had to shoot today for the builder of the house. So while he was there I took a few photos of the house. The windows are amazing.

Critique Club comment;
Very good intry for Architecture as it has lots of interesting angles and lines, and reflections.
The angle at which you took this shot does well to complement the bluiders work & artistry.
What would some reflected light, say from a sunset's colors done for this? What would it have done to the shadows?

Really funky house design. You might want to clean up the bottom of the picture (the fern and door frame).

Great shapes, but I think some side lighting, if possible, would have shown them off to greater effect.

great composition

I love the subject and the composition, the way the windows reflect the blues in the sky and how it all contrasts with the deep orange/brown of the wood.
However the whites seem a little blown out for me so I'm voting a 6.

Hrmm, I'm gonna get pedantic here....

In architecture, the "glass house" refers specifically to a work of Philip Johnson's, a small pavilion house in Connecticut on his property that was all glass walls on all 4 sides. It refers moire generally to a style of modern house that sprang out of the Bauhaus movement, Mies van der Rohe etc, a style of house characterized by steel frames, flat roofs, and curtain-glass walls.

If you've seen the movie "Ferris Buehler's Day Off", you've seen a "glass house"; Ferris's buddy, the kid whose dad owns a Ferrari that they "borrow" for the day, lives in a glass house.

I suppose this is probably more information than you want, and the title is not affecting my scoring at all (just so you know), but in case you're interested in the min i-history lesson, you got it :-)

Very plain. Much like a snapshot.
