Difficult picture, shadow foreground to sunny background, tends to wash out elements in the background, like say the street. (Your grass is so green, I'm envious!) The red plant reflecting back in the window is a nitty thing, but could have used a polarizing filter to fix that up. 7 Swash
super exposure, tough to get the right balance of light in the foreground and background but you did it. was that car driving by? did you wait for it to be there?
I like this shot, but the red car is distracting from the overall feel of the picture. I would have rated it higher if it had met the challenge more. I am rating this shot lower becuase this scene is not specific to your corner of the world. I can see the same setting here is CA. Good work. 6
It might be more effective cropped closed, especially on the right and the bottom where there's a lot of black that does not, to me, add much to the picture. I like the concept and the lighting is good otherwise.
