    Re: Take 2

    Very nice, Seb. I really like the composition on this. Including half the tree is great. And the warm orange hues coming from the house and doors are beautiful. I am noticing something on the right side by the door and behind the plant. It seems that the bricks have lost their definition or, possibly something was cloned out or adjusted? I don't know if this will hurt it or not, but the image is very strong. Great

    Seb,

    That is just great. Kudos. I think you have a strong contender there. Another thing that I like about this in addition to things mentioned by others is the reflections in the upper windows. Very nice work.

    Seb,

    This is much better and I agree with Gary - My eyes went straight to that spot by the door. Howevert he rest of the shot is excellent.

    Thanks guys!

    Actually, the area you are reffering at truly is like it appears on the picture. I guess that this spot must have been patched with cement. There is no manipulation involved but thanks for noticing, you guys have sharp eyes!

    regards

    Re: Take 2

    It's great Seb but I would be inclined to loose part of thre road, say just a little below the kerbstone. It's a striking image as the colours hit you straight away.

    Re: Take 2

    Really like the shot. Nice composition and I like how only half the tree is showing.
    The only improvement is to loose some of the road as Overbeyond suggested. There is just too much of it and was the first thing I noticed, otherwise a very nice image and color.
    Great job.
    Cheers.

    Re: Take 2

    I reacted to this one much more than the building with the blue doors. While both are compositionally good, this one seems to have a little bit more going on that draws me into the photo. It's more interesting (to me.)

    Keep up the good work.

    I have to agree with everyone about the tree. Great inclusion and like that only half is shown. Nice popping colors and very sharp. Interesting yet unusual color for a building too. Great shot Seb.
