Cool subject. I like the totem on the left. I think this is a good shot, but the one thing that bothers me is the power lines. A tight crop showing only part of the house might be an effective way of cutting out the lines and emphasizing the subject. Composing these can be a tough call, as one might want to include the entire building, but can't without including unwanted distractions. My usual preference is to compose so as to show the most important aspects of the building while eliminating the distracting elements.

Love the colour! The power line is a bit distracting, however there isn't much you could do about that. Nice. (6)

My only beef for what is a really good picture is the pole - I'd like to have seen that as the central theme rather than off to the left... Can't knock it technically and it's only one persons beef. (8)

The utility pole and electricity meter are both kind of distracting. Otherwise, very nice.

The " totem pole" is great---the utility pole and wires are really distracting.Walking around a little more before snapping the pix would have helped.
