As soon as I read the topic for this weeks challenge I knew where I had to go. I packed up the car and headed out to this house (even though I had already been there and taken the same pictures the week prior) There is so much color in the small outport communities and they have so much to offer. It is this color that really portrays the peoples sense of life and love for the land.

Good clean shot. Was there a good view of the bay? A 7

Good scenic. Focus looks a little soft. (or it's just my monday morning eyes).

A different angle to get the tree to complement instead of hide the house would have been better.

What a nice piece of real estate, even if the morning fog is still lingering at sundown.The shadow of the other building on the house is a little unfortunate. I would be tempted to crop the right side just to the right of the windows. A 10.

Oh, I like this. The dramatic light and shadow work well for me. I want the image to be tipped closer to square. With the extreme light and shadow, the house being slightly askew makes it a bit too disorientating and distracts rather than enhances. Brilliant colors.

I think this could have been cropped tighter on the left to emphasis your subject better. Also the focus seems a bit off. I really like this type of photo.

This is a really great photo. Only thing that bugs me is the angle. Vertical lines on the house are tilted right. Otherwise would've been a top pick for me.

Very nice contrast between the house and the background. I don't know if it would work, but moving over just enough to place the tree off center from the doorway might improve the composition, unless the door is so ugly it needs to be concealed.

Very nice. I would have tried the shot from a different angle to avoid the shadow on the lower right. Maybe a little less tight crop also. And rotate so the house isn't leaning. Classic outport colours. ;)

Is this crooked? Nice colors.

This would have been a terrific shot if you had not blocked the front door of the house witht he tree and lost the shadow in the lower right of the building. Go left still keeping in the perspective of the path so you could have gotten the front door to show. If it was your home to do so, I would have also opened it a crack..it would naturally invite the eye to peek in. Keeping the perspective of the path I would have lowered the shot..or laid down on the ground to get it..that way the yellow house would really have jumped off a blue sky. Go retake it I bet you will see the resulting composition will thrill you.
