Nice concept... contrast level is a little weak.

rather too many trees in the way there.

This might be alright if it weren't for all the trees.

obviously not your house or you would have taken it from inside the trees. THe problem is that the sky is washed uot behind the treeeed Nice concept though- you are one thinking man's- or woman's photographer.

A valid idea, a large house means big bucks. Taken from this point of view, though the trees, gives a feeling of exclusion which works with the subject. Howver the exposure is too dark on the trees and two light on the house. Perhaps if you exposed for the house and let the trees be in silouette. You should crop in on the house to make it clearer that os the subject.

nice trees.

There is a major problem here. The range of exposure that you are trying to accomodate is just too much with the result that the shadows are too dark and the highlights too light. Try this. Set up using a tripod. Take an image exposed for the shadows and then one exposed for the highlight. You can then merge the two and you'll have an image that caters for the full dynamic range.

Love the point of view taken here - like an intruder, almost. think I would have prefered it exposed properly for the house, and leaving the trees in silhouette - that sense of exclusion wouldn't be harmed by that, surely?

Technical: Fits the challenge. Trees are relatively well exposed, but that means your main subject is overexposed. Composition could have been better for the subject. Focus and lighting are difficult because of the composition. Perhaps getting close to the trees and shooting the house "in the clear" would have made this a better shot given the challenge.

Personal: I feel like maybe you didn't want the owner to see you photographing their house! It feels like a snapshot.

My vote: 3.
