Thanks for masses of good comments (and faves too!).
There was an earlier edit, with less contrast and ting:
I was wandering around with camera, thinking in terms of some sort of aged artifice, like JuliBoc or posthumous's entries, when I just came across this brief shadow play.
Here's a picture of the location (different lens):

Speaking for myself (and I scored this one high already) you'd have gotten a full point more from me if you'd entered the less-processed version, which I think is utterly lovely. Great shot.
I pretty much thought this totally rocked, though I doubt anyone actually says that any more. Excellent example of how the everyday has significant moments of wonder.
The shadows remind me, in a good way, of the veins in a heart. The house is glowing with life. It looks as if the gable is translucent and the light is coming from within. I really love the contrast in this image and the warm colors. And I don't mind what appears to be over-sharpening, because this image is so simple in its composition that the white outlines give it a clean crispness.
Always a pleasure to see a photo that makes you stop and take notice. There's a lot of vitality flowing through the veins of this image. If there was such a thing as infinite beauty this is fast approaching it.
This is neat looking. I like the pattern of the birds conforming to the shape of the roofline. This has the appearance of something that was just a lucky snapshot that you caught, but it really works for me. The birds have little to do with the gable, except that they are there, but it comes off like a collage.
The bird formation is wonderful along with thte shoadow of the tree. I could see this being top 10 - the border to me is grabbing too much attention and unnecessary.
