Photographer's Notes
Took the boat out this evening just before sunset to shoot some lake side houses. I discovered there were 5 big trees in this photo and rushed home to edit and submit.
There are indeed 5 main tree trunks in the photo. This house if it were for sale would sell for about USD 5 Million (1 Million / tree).
As you'll see below, not much post processing at all ... more or less out of the camera.
Enjoy.

Ouch! Quite unforgiving for not being obvious and literal. I got hammered recently for breaking a basic photo rule. I think DPC only rewards outside the box if it is very original and a very good tech shot. Keep shooting.
I got 20 comments on my photo which were all positive, and which I appreciate. 3 of the commenters noticed there were 5 trees in the foreground of the photo.
This is my worst scoring photo, not because it is a bad photo but because the relevance to the challenge was subtle, non-obvious.
Ok you got me. I'm not getting the association with five here. It's a good picture of a house, and I'm not making any sort of connection with your title.
I'm not sure how this fits in to the challenge '5'. I have been looking at it for a while and do not see 5 trees, or 5 windows, or 5 shrubs... I'm not sure what I am missing
This is a lovely shot. I would give it much higher than a 6 if there were a predominant motif involving the number 5. I can count five tree trunks, but they are not reallly the subject here. This is also a beautiful home. The timing of the shot was wonderful. Nice job.
The sharpness and focus on this is downright amazing. It almost looks 3-dimensional. I don't right off notice the 5-somethings, but I'm sure it's there somewhere.
