Sorry about the DQ -- especially hard when its a personal best. This is such a nice photo. I can't decide which I like better -- the tree or the house. They both are so interesting and meld into a really nice composition, with the vines tying them together.
I LOVE the selective desaturation here -the colors are so rich and beautiful. I'm a little unsure about the blurry edges though, they seem kind of abrupt, and don't integrate smoothly into the rest of the photo. But otherwise this is very nice.
