It is difficult to see the main focal point. Did you know that the natural pathway of the eye is to gravitate to the brightest pop on the "canvas". Did you mean for eyes to go tot he doorway? In the old days, photographers used to turn their photographs upside down to study where the point was to where the eye gravitated to on their photographs...then they knew what the focal point was. With your image the eye goes directly to the bright door (and out). You are very lucky to have been invited into this Berber home which does look very rustic.

You do have some clipping (block up) at the lower right of this shot (viewer's right). Using the shadow/highlight slider could bring out some detail perhaps. A tighter crop eliminating the line at the right would strengthen this shot. I love the warm feel in hues of browns and oranges gives the viewer an engaging feel.

Yes, the rule of thirds sings loud and clear however the image is soft especially the main focal point situated in the grid lines, which is being pierced by the white masks. However, it is an interesting post full of warm hues.

OUCH OUCH OUCH MY NECK....it's upside down, can't see it properly.

ummmmm... it's upside down

Hmmm you must live in the antipodies, the photo should be good I guess... It looks roman indeed, so are you Australian?

I love the warm glow from the windows.

Nice, two for the price of one!

I wonder if a different, tighter crop would highlight the bridge a bit more? I like the viewpoint from which you shot this, it is vast.

very nice

What a sharp photo but little bit centered
Nice shot

Can you please provide the shot detail (exif data) ? what lens do you have ? Thanks.

The bird looks pensive... Nice catch!

I'll take the third from the left

What beautiful patterning on it. Here in the USA, they are generally a solid, dark purple, and somewhat boring to look at.
Very nice composition, the positioning at an angle really helps the visual movement.

Nice set up, but the lighting and white balance could be improved. Try a white reflector (white paper) in front and set the camera to tungsten, if you are going to re-shoot.

cute!

Gorgeous !

Absolutely adorable!

Wow! I would really hate to be the one to remove this ornament! LOL Great shot!

lol!!!

Lovely, I would personally crop some of the foreground.

Nice shot but I think the DOF is too strong. in the high res there's hardly a single line in focus. Having a lower DOF would make this a better entry IMHO.

Isn't that a sugar glider???

is that a chinchilla?

Congrats !

Congratulations, on 3rd, a beautiful shot.

love the mood

Nice shot and lighting... might crop a little closer

I like the grass below. Very nice capture!

reminds me of the beginning credits of "To Kill a Mockingbird"... wonderful job

lovely

the feel of this shot is excellent, the composition is great as is the lighting.

I really like the lighting in this shot.

Cairn, that was what I was going to say, love the photo. Your daughter is a very lucky.

Looks like painting, beautiful and very imaginative.

would love to see a high res, lovely tones in this one.

HEY! IT's Spuds McKenzie!!! I always wondered what happened to that dog.

so lovely...gl

I think I would have liked it better in a portrait shape and some white balance correction.

nice mood...gl

Very nice!

nice shot author...great depth IMHO...gl

I agree

I would have liked more focus up front but that's just IMO...

Except for whatever that white this is to the left, it's a great shot.

agrees with artifakts
