I posted this the other day in the photo section.
Took this shot Friday after going to one of my favorite nature spots just down the road from my house. It was looking magical in the woods so I had to come back with a camera. This isn't my normal type of photography but I thought it turn out ok.

I like this a lot. However, I would like to see the composition without that small tree going vertically through the center of the house. I think I would be tempted to photoshop it out or go back with a pruning saw.
It does look magical but without that tree it would appear to be a window into the magic forest house.

I love the light in this. I have to agree about the tree.
That's funny I composed it so that tree would be right were the post is for the porch.

I just went and took out that branch and your so right it looks so much better, this is why I don't do shots like this.

But other than the tree you did it beautifully. I think I would like to see more of this kind of photo from you. :mrgreen:

Greg,
I like your image very much. That small tree I meet with mixed emotions. In a way, I think it adds to the photo and without it, there would be a void as though there was something missing and would make the shot unreal - too magical. That little sapling is almost like a great big sign saying, "Keep Out," I am the guardian of my castle - like it or not!
On the other hand, with it taken out, it opens up a mystical imagination as if this is a magical and fairytale type scene inviting one to come in and let one's imagination run rampant with all kinds of make believe scenarios possible, left to one's imagination. Either way would be acceptable, in my humble opinion, depending upon the story one is trying to showcase.
Either way, I love the coordinating and contrasting vibrant colors as if it is a real work of art. Nice job, Greg - good insight on your part.
Tom
P.S. I also think the slight dark vignetting is a must - really draws out the manmade structure (house or cabin). I feel the same way about the angled tree camera left!

Sometimes one can get "clear" shots and sometimes you can't. The scene is what it is. The forward trees actually tuck the little cabin in. Hope you continue to shoot such as it was very enjoyable. S

I agree, but I would still try to remove the tree in post processing

I do like the composition, color and contrast. Perhaps a different angle (perspective) would have moved the sapling from the center.

Great place to sit on the porch and get bit by skeeters!!
I do like the photo, it would be a nice decorative wall hanging (without the tree). I'd also like to see it in b&w.

I agree your photograph is much better than OK, however there are several distractions that caught my eye. You could consider eliminating them with post processing, but keep in mind these are only suggestions.
The little tree could be remover, and simply replaced the support posts. Next, the particle board sheets under the deck could be covered over with some green grass or brush. Finally, overall saturation could be dialed back a bit. Some times the photograph you get just needs a little help. For me, post processing is half the fun of digital photography.

Thanks for looking, I will wait for the light to be right again and go back and try composing it without the little tree and by then maybe the grass will have grown more and give it a completely different look.
