Challenge: Centered Composition (Advanced Editing II)

This is the William Smith House. The Redcoats stopped here for lunch on their match to Concord. Little did they know that Paul Revere had spread the word and a battle awaited them. I have a new laptop and I'm having trouble getting the colors right. I can't seem to get this monitor adjusted properly so I'd like comments on the colors and saturation please.

I love your work! You have a great eye for detail as is evident in this lovely shot. The old building amidst the spring flowers is just lovely. The tree to the right helps soften and frame around the building, without obstructing too much of it's view.

Should have not included the tree in the foreground. The door of the house looks interesting... you should have tried taking a close up of that instead.

I like the house in the background and I feel that it should have more presence in the photo. In this current state it's the tree that takes precedence as it covers a higher percentage of the frame than the house does and it's in the foreground; a double whammy, if you will.

why not crop out the entirety of the tree-trunk picture right? It would leave you with a genuinely centred composition, instead of the halfway-there shot, and would to my eye balance the composition more evenly. Not a bad image at all, but lacking in much real mood, either of drama, or gentleness, or peace. Perhaps needed a different light to caryy it off, or failing that more processing work to give it some punch. As it stands, it is fairly ordinary to me. 5

This images produces a calming influence. Soft lighting, soft colors. Seems like the building isn't quite level and the sky draws a lot of un-needed attention.

the house is in the center, but meanwhile everything else gets my attention, because the house looks a bit dull..the tree in the front is also blocking my sight..maybe you should have stepped a few metres to the front??

You're not alone in doing this but I'll hand you the comment now, since it's a "shame on a really nice image". This is not centered. I'ts close to, but it's not. The house I'd say is the main object, and the door being the very centerpoint of the house. Moving it out of the center probably makes for a better image, but in this challenge I feel it's pushing the luck a bit.

The foreground tree seems too dominating to me...
