lots of cyan in this image, white balance issues? selective color or hue/sat will pull that out for you. The lines in this photo go everywhere, and make it hard for my eye to know what to look at, maybe a different angle on the house that emphasizes it's "affluence" and size and simplifies the lines would make this a stronger composition. Hope that helps.

My summer cottage. You've found my summer cottage. And I had just about forgotten about it!

Curious. I've seen so many photos of England in fog and diffuse light that seeing a house like this in direct, undiffused light makes it seem somehow wrong - as if the house and its gardens had some how been transported for the day just to be photographed beneath the blazing north African skies.

The sky seems just a tad too aqua or green. And so do the bricks. Come to think of it, that lovely green hedge - I bet it is that color when the sky is cloudy but i'd not be surprised if it were considerably more yellow in bright light.

Not sure how to make the composition better, but it somehow seems unbalanced. If the photo is about the house, I'd like that to take up more space. If it is about the grounds, I'd like their features to be more pronounced, more distinct.

The lushness of the greens makes me want to walk barefoot. I like it.

Nice place - definitely affluent. The colors don't look right though. White balance issue?

Coloring seems a little off. Even the red bricks have quite the blue tint to them.
