Hi, as requested, here is an indepth critique of your submission.
First Impression - the most important one:
Langdon, shame on you! Not filling in your details. Setting a bad example :-P
Looks like a pleasant painting that would hang in the living room of a nice country home. Quite soothing.
Composition:
You've gone for everything happening in the center of the photo, which works here, because of the subject itself. The drives leading to the house strengthens this composition for you, without them, I don't think this composition would work at all.
Subject:
I mentioned that it was peaceful. The house itself is lovely as is the scenery around it. With most of the composition being fairly dark, the house stands out well.
Technical (Color, focus, and light):
The color of the house is lookinga little off to me, it's not off a lot, but just a tad towards red.
Focus is sharp and the deep DoF works well.
Light: What intrigues me is that there is almost no shadows. The overcast sky worked well here.
To grow its vote?:
Hmmm... go into the DPC database and change site statistics ;-) Seriously, I can't think of any way to dramatically improve this image. Maybe a bit of sunlight on the trees would have given it more pop, but I think would ruin the mood of the photo.
Summary:
Love the house. Love the photo of the house. I think it's really good work.
Hope to see more from you soon,
Leroy
