Comment by chickadee:
The cottage and well seem to be compeating for attention. The well also cuts the cottage in half. Perhaps a different angle - to show much more of the cottage (in one peice) with the well as a side feature.

A bit tight and centered, like the color and contrast (did you turn up the saturation?).

Comment by Olyuzi:
Colors are very nice and came out very saturated, which I like, but I think the photo is underexposed, on the whole. Also, I think you could have cropped out the dark top 1/4th of the picture.

A nice photo. When I hear Country Living, I think wide open spaces, I know forests are out in the country too, but the canopy of trees almost feels constricting.

I think that the vase looks too out of place. Where are the baking bread and lace and johdpurs?

Comment by HBunch:
I can't say that this interests me much. Here is what I see...
A tilted plastic cup full of out of focus, half dead, flowers in the middle of an unmown yard. The light is really bright on the whites, and too dark in the pinks. I think the thing that bothers me most, is WHY is this cup of flowers sitting in the middle of nowhere.
Don't mean to be harsh, but I'm not seeing the point, nor the country living here. and i live in the country.
The one thing I see that works though, is the way that the purple comes together in the photo. Border, flowers, and specks in the background as well. It flows nicely with the color.

The idea of having a vase of flowers outdoors is an interesting one, but this photo ends up without much visual "oomph". I think it would help if it were a little lighter, and perhaps if the background was a bit more interesting.

You know, I think I would like this shot better without the vase in the front, it's such a lovely green meadow with a very natural beauty. The flowers, of course, are bright and pretty too, but that's just me. : )
