Greetings from the Critique Club!
First impression -- I like the serene feel here, beautiful old house and really interesting clouds. I wish the sky was blue, though.
Technicals -- The perspective seems a bit off to me, as the first glance it looks like the house is about to fall backwards. I would have preferred to see it from a different angle. While the house is nicely framed, by all the vegetation, I find the shrubs in the foreground in the current a bit distracting. They were cut off at an odd level; more of shrubs in the foreground would give the house more of a dignified look. The focus is good; the white sky looks blown out, though.
Final thoughts -- Your processing did not seem to add much to the photo -- I believe it might have benefitted from a pass of USM, some additional contrast and color boost. I also believe it would have looked great in b&w. This is definitely an interesting subject and a great candidate for HDR, so I really hope to see this house again in a different challenge or a free study.
Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.
Cheers,
Anna |
