    Re: Yard Fountain - Cuero, Texas

    It has an elegant look, and I like the way the black and white makes the house stand out.

    Areas I'm not sure about is the way that big dirt mound (or whatever it is) obstructs the view of the house, and that the image has (not sure what it is ) a somewhat distorted look to it's lines. I think the later comes from resizing and/or possibly rotating the image.

    The more I look at that mound, the more I suspect it's either a grave (which would be bizarre) or used to contain a tree. ??

    The image is correctly exposed for the white house but if the house is the subject of the image the "Fountain" in the foreground blocks the view.

    If the "Fountain" in the foreground is the subject it is underexposed and too small a part of the frame.
    No, I DON'T need that.

    GB's confusion about what that mound is pretty much points out the correctness of MB's critique. Not sure, but maybe fill flash would have helped or wait for more even lighting conditions.
    Keep Shooting!
