Timothy and Michael Riordan were prominent pioneer Flagstaff businessmen who developed a successful logging business, the Arizona Lumber and Timber Company. Moreover, the two brothers were known for their contributions which were essential to the development of the social and economic structure of Flagstaff and Northern Arizona. Built in 1904, the mansion is an impressive reminder of gracious living in a small, territorial logging town. The historic building is an Arizona treasure - a remarkable example of Arts and Crafts style architecture featuring rustic exterior of log-slab siding, volcanic stone arches, and hand-split wood shingles. The expansive home has 40 rooms, over 13,000 square-feet of living area, and servant's quarters.

it's kinda odd that you chose to have the border wider on the bottom and not put the text in there

Sky looks a bit strange.

I think there are some noise/artifact issues. Perhaps as a result from processing. The clouds are blown out - the viewers eye is drawn towards them not to the building. But overall I like your idea, the subject and your composition!

seems very over processed to me ... sky is not very natural

I see some color banding in the clouds, almost as if this one is over saturated. I do like the subject and composition, but it looks like your post-processing detracts from the end product.

I like the framing of the building between the trees.
