Bob, You're right about the the hue problem. I was pre-occupied when I originally posted, and I allowed the yellow cast to dominate. RD, this is an interesting scene. However, there is a bit of flare in the lower-left corner. Additionally, there is a lot of hue contamination which causes the photograph to loose a lot of visual interest.

As for the flare, I don't agree. The image is heavily cropped--I'm a "shoot wide, crop tight advocate--and what you're seeing may be the violet flower that's below the window. I'm re-posting the image; hopefully the new image will clarify things.
At any rate, thank you for your helpful suggestions. This has been an interesting exercise.

You’re 100% correct about the yellow cast. I’m going to fix that later today.I like the composition and the subject matter. That said, it seems a bit heavy on the yellow. I don’t have a problem with the green, but altering the yellow might enhance the green a bit, too.

I went out to shoot last week, and when I was all finished I was surprised that from a shoot of an old, weatherbeaten house I only had one image that I'd put my name on. I'll be interested in your take.

In the 60’s I was addicted to Richard S. Prather’s Shell Scott mysteries. Does anyone else remember them?

BooYah! I’m proud to hear that you stood up to him.

Someone should pass these comments on to him.

What a great shot! You managed to combine an excellent story, perfect exposure, tack sharpness, superb composition, and a goodly portion of luck (the incoming surf wraps it up) to produce a wonderful image.
Can you tell I’m impressed?

Wow! Thank you.I wish you would have been one of my teachers in school, I might have learned something.
Of course a book on composition could help any of us because it would show us different things we might not know or need a reminder of sometimes.
Thanks for your question and humbleness.

At this juncture I believe I've been given the answers I was hoping for, and I thank all who contributed their time and thought. You all have been very generous with your thoughtfulness and suggestions. For those who scoff at the idea of "teaching" composition, I know I cannot change your minds but remind you of the bard's words, "Foul is most foul being foul to be a scoffer."
