Very well done with only one thing you should think about changing. If this image were taken from a spot more to the left, it would be close to perfect. The way it is now with the roadway above being centered makes the whole composure a bit too centered. One other thought is to crop the top and some of the right side, but I think that would make the image too crowded. Your works are great, but seem to almost always be centered.

Sure looks like a fun house and area to hang out.... Great color, frameing, the fthe sharpness is a little soft, but, I'm sure its the upload quality..nice work, I'm sure this image would sell that house.

This is an excellent photograph of a beautiful house and landscape. I can see why this jumped out at you :) Excellent exposure, great clarity and wonderful colours. Just think road [path?] could have been cropped...I know it is in title, but a "Place of Serenty" would have worked :)

Comment from Clyde B.
This is a lovely hot Low, I like the composition and the lighting. The bright re against the green foliage draws the eye right into the scene. I've been looking at what is on the left, but just can't figure out what is . Great job!!!

Thank you so much Clyde!!!!!! On the left, not shown, is like an old glassed in tiny porch that got some shot of, but could not get a good enough angle, too much railroad track and powerlines. Shown on the left beside the tree is lattice covering a window.

Comment from Papa
LowRider, yes a touch of heaven. A beautiful scene which you have recorded so very well. I admire the composition and your perspective, the colours are wonderful and the image carries a very strong and pleasing impact. The tepee is interesting! It is unfortunate that the image is not sharper; but it is an excellent effort.
Peace, Papa

Comment from Cricket
Great eye for a shot again, the only thing detracting from the piece is the framing. Think you could have cut out the road in the back to keep the focus on the home and surrounding area. The colors really pop with the red in there. Keep em coming!

Yes, this red house hidden by the trees does stand out. You captured another wonderful farm house. I like the lighting and angle. Keep them coming. :)
