Greetings from the Critique Club!

Pleasant image, but it doesn't take any risks. It's very safe, and on this site that may make it forgettable. I think you could have done a much tighter crop to emphasize the house and sunbeams. On a personal note I would have done away with the border, especially a dark one. I would have tried to shoot from a lower pov, to add drama, especially with the A-frame roof.

Interesting that you used such a fast lens for this shot. Looking at your settings, I guess you shot handheld. Nothing wrong with that, however a tripod can come in handy when you are planning to head out and shoot something that isn't moving very fast, like a house :-) Then you can close down the fstop, open up the shutter and let the tripod do all the work of holding the camera rock-steady.

Hope this citique helps, keep shooting!

Feel free to PM me with any questions,

Susan
