I love the colors and the peeking through the trees. I also like the scewed tilt of the house, it makes the image more dynamic. I'm sure some people will tell you to change it. Is that a telephone wire? Well, that sucks, but not your fault. Great job.

This could've been a great picture but the line in the middle ruins everything :(.

Hi Kelly. Congratulations on an excellent image. 21st place from 295 entries is something to be proud of. This is a good find and subject for the challenge, you got very lucky here. The colors are amazing. I was wondering what it was, I though maybe a motel or something. I would never have guessed a cinema.

The reflections off the glass give your pic that extra impact, added to the vivid colors in the windows. I tried to find your reflection in the window but couldn't :-) The focus is bang on bringing out the detail much more.

What bothers me a little is the sky up the top right, it is a little too bright in comparison to the rest of the pic. I get the feeling this is an evening shot but the sky is contradicting that feeling. As was already mentioned in one of the comments below I would have waited a little longer until it was later to get a darker sky in. Also the colors would have been highlighted even more.

Also going from a dark photo to a completely white border distracts a little, I would have prefered to have seen either no border at all, or else a darker one.

All in all a very good image and after looking at your past results your best so far. Well done.

Gary
