At least as good as many of the depictions of the building I have seen, and I'm something of an FLW enthusiast.
Well composed and attractive.

IMO, FLW would have liked it. https://libquotes.com/frank-lloyd-wright/quote/lbn5y5m

Architecture is very difficult to present in that there can be so many descriptions. We have to go back to the architect to understand what was his/her intent. FLW desire was to incorporate his structure within the environment. Your shot shows that he was successful.

Well, unless you wanted to do some pruning...

Nicely composed, soft lighting. Very well done.

I think it a shot you can be proud of. My only nit to pick would be to suggest a little cropping in from the right; I don't think you need all of those trees, and it would move the house a little off center. But that's just my little brain; try it and see if you like it.

Leave it as is. Don't crop.

Fine shot but I agree about a bit of cropping on the right. For me it’s not to include *fewer* trees. It’s all about that *one* more forward and prominent tree.

That tree connects to top edge of the frame to the bottom edge, which gives it too much power. Via minor cropping on the right that tree now only shaves off a corner of the frame instead of the whole right edge.

The low rez grayscale pix below demo what I mean about that tree:

Nicely done. It also makes the building more prominent to my demented eye.

I would love to see the cropped one in color

ok, thanks to all...here's what I did...I cropped the frame to be about square to get rid of the greenery to the right. The tree trunk was in the way so did the content aware fill to get rid of the tree. Erased some of the few branches on the chimney....and then sharpened it all a bit in Topaz. I also went back and added a very slight highlight to the waterfalls. FWIIW, I think the image is better than before.

CC always welcome.
