Great processing here! I would like to see more in the photo. The view shown is a-typical for a picture of a home. Perhaps adding a person to the deck sweeping or something could help. I really like the tones and the contrast and the added grain. It is from another era for sure!

Front Yard "Candelabra"

Awesome shot but not really a good subject for the challenge. Though I am sure this is a typical scene for you in your front yard, it doesn't say "Home" to me.

I like the dreamy still life scene. I think your choice of processing is counter intuitive to the message you are trying to communicate. The high-key, soft focus processing along with the tones used leave me with a cold, icy feeling. I feel like I am looking at a memorial of some sort.

This shot is simple and to the point. Nicely composed and good color and brightness. It works well for the challenge.

Very well framed. Awesome perspective and great detail in the lines of the brick. No noticeable jpg jaggies which are always trouble when it comes to re-sizing photos of brick walls.

You have captured a lovely pastoral scene. I like the contrast with the really dark darks and the soft white fog. I think that the foreground ought to be a hair brighter. The details seem to be lost. Also though the soft feel is good for the scene, I would like a touch more sharpness in the tree which appears to be the subject. You did very well with the B&W conversion and again the contrast is what makes this image.

There is a lot of chromatic aberration around the edges of the horizon line.

Feels like hunting season... or someone taking their dog out for a walk!

Another good take of a similar subject. I kind of like the brighter light on the other picture. But the muted colors here are cool. I do like the other photo using the rule of thirds better than this one which has filled more of the frame with the subject. Good job on the textures and I like the gradient sky!

The window and the rest of the upper part of the picture is not really needed here. Otherwise awesomely sharp and very crisp chrome! Great color without being cartoony!
