I don't really like the sun in the photo - it's way overpowering.

Comment by JunieMoon:
A lot of sun flare on this one, especially right in the center of the house. When shooting iwith the sun in front of you, you could try shading the lens with your hand to prevent the flare. Just make sure your hand isn't in the shot.

Comment by anotherday:
the sun just covers up half of the image and makes the other half not very clear.

A good idea -- I like the sun shining over the roof. I would have rated it higher if it were in focus better and it were closer to being level. 4

Comment by cwalmye:
I know what idea you're going for, with the sun flare in the shot, but I think it takes away from the shot becuase it causes you to use an exposure that is so fast that it makes the house, wich should be the primary subject of the photograph, rather dark. If this was the idea that you were going for, it might have been slightly better to use an even faster shutter speed and go for an all-out silloette of the building, and possibly then put it in black and white and up the contrast to eliminate any residual grayscale on the house...Just a thought.

Comment by Kaups:
Good idea, it just leaves the flare and the house with an incorrect exposure.

Comment by Barry:
Hot spot created by sun is a big problem as is the focus +exposure...

Simple basic rule to get the image working for you technically at the camera levels is to shoot with the Sun to your back...this would help on the basic level and you will see a big difference in your exposures almost without thinking about them.
