There are a couple of things that hurt this image IMHO. One is the space to the left of the image compared to the ones on the right. It's too loose if compared to teh right side crop. The otehr is that the windows are completely black and uninteresting. The typical view of a home is usually one where activity and life can be portrayed. There is a dog so it seems to me that there is someone living there. Had there been lights within the house, I bet this would have been vastly different.
This area of New Zealand is one of my favorite places on earth! Will this Heritage Building be preserved or restored with the new developement in the area?
