houses by the pond

Request comments on the general composition and processing done.
Thanks,

Overall I think that it is pretty good Joydeep. The tall and narrow presentation leaves me wanting to see a bit more on either side.

I like the leading line around the pond but think that you might be able to lose right to the lower edge in a crop. I think that you may have some blown portions in the clouds that you might want to take a look at. Also, do you think that the sky could be toned down a tad in general? It seems to compete a bit with the rest of the scene but that might just be me.

Lastly, does the red portion of the house really lean to the left that much? It's funny because the poles and the buildings on the right seem reasonable straight to me

Just my two cents...and I hope my comments weren't to harsh. I will be interested to read the thoughts of others and this is something that I am working on too...

Shot from a lower angle would reduce some of the randomness of the foreground or as Shane says cropped tighter around the pond. Nicely done.

Hi Joydeep,

A little perspective correction to get the house straight.

What is more important, the house or the pond or the house at the pond? Try to isolate your main subject from the rest.

Always avoid cutting buildings in half, unless it can be divided.

Hope you don’t mind me doing this.

Thanks for the suggestions Andre. The landscape format looks nice.

Thanks Shane, I do agree with observations. I have used Capture One for processing but did not notice any overblown clouds however it does seem like that. Here is an updated version with a crop.
