 This is a photo of the bombed out residence of one of the Hussein brothers home. The other brothers home is directly on the other side of this one. I had a shot showing both homes; however, it doesnt have quite the impact as this one does.

Colors way too saturated here. For no good reason that I can see. Love the bird. Composition is to "regular"

nice compostion. I like the blue sky in the right corner of the picture near the bird.
Looks like they could use gutters- there really is a lot of water damage.

Interesting, but not terribly artfully composed or aesthetically pleasing.

Beautiful blue sky and water, nice colors and very sharp. the composition seems a bit snapshot like though.
