    Looks like a painting. (That is a compliment.) THe composition seems off-balance, though.

    Re: Little House on the Palouse

    I like the scene and looks to have much potential, but I also feel the composition is off. The two trees and the barn side by side, and in the middle of the frame is not working well, I feel. I see the shot being take with the tops of the trees at the top of the frame and alot motre of that grassy, snowy foreground leading all the way up. Maybe another of just the two trees and no barn,, and another with just the barn and one tree. I would walk around the entire scene and try to find different compositions. This one just feels off.

    Nice location - I agree with the others - the composition needs a little work here. Try cropping the foreground so that the picture concentrates on the house and the trees. I tried this and it looks a lot better . I also tried leveleing the horizon and this gave an interesting photo.

    Unless you re-take the shot I don't think you can crop the top of the picture without putting the horizon smack in the centre of the picture - unless you lose the tree tops.

    Have a play with the cropping tool.

    By the way I like the pastel colours in this shot- I think they work well
