There are a lot of distracting elements in this photo - the reflection in the near water, the crappy land in the middle, the trees before the color...Is color really a central and tying idea to this pic or is it just a pic with good colors in it? Just my 2c. :) Keep shooting!
Excellent capture! Good choice to add so much foreground into the image. As I see it this pic had 4 different levels: The grass, the river, the houses and the sky background, well done.
The colors on the buildings and the green in the grass and trees are captured very nicely. That bit across the bottom of the photo looks really strange. Even though I believe you are looking down a hill, I initially thought the trees and fences were being reflected in water, but on closer inspection, I decided not. It looks out of place and really odd to me.
Something seems lopsided here. I think it would be better if the line of the housetops was level to the top of the frame. Also the focus does not seem sharp enough. If you look at the clock on the church, for instance, that is out of focus. Sharpness improves an image a lot if you can manage it.
Couple of things on this photo: I like it very much but wish it had been level. It seems slanted to the right giving the apearance that the houses are sliding to the right. I would also have liked to see the foreground cropped out up to the wall making for a wide photo matching the row of houses. I found the brown and green pulled me away from the main interest of the colorful homes. Very unique colorful shot.
the houses look great, even if a little tilted to the right, but the foreground doesn't add much interest to this picture... rotation of one degree to the left and crop on the bottom would impove it a lot...
I like the color of the buildings and the sky. The green forground is nice but the muddy brown takes away, so I would have cropped this one nearly in half.
Very colourful houses. To give this photograph more oomph, I would competely crop out the bottom half of this picutre, as it adds nothing to the photograph, and brighten and increase the contrast (either in camera or with use of an imaging program like Photoshop) so that the colours of the houses stand out more vividly.
Should have zoomed way in on the left 2/3rds of the buildings leaving less of the foreground. You'd need a pretty powerfull lens however to do this. The pic is also tilted to the right.
