Simplicity of life.

Thank you for your thoughts.

 

As a matter of taste, I would personally crop it a little closer to eliminate the building on the left, but there could be arguments for just leaving it alone.

Nothing wrong with it really.

I've been looking at this for a couple days... it's pretty straight forward, architecturally & compositionally simplistic. Looks like it was early/mid day, full sunlight, not a cloud in the sky. The exposure looks good etc., although the subject matter doesn't touch me in any particular way. Do I recall you're shooting with film in medium format?

As shot, I see it as more stark than simple.

Thank you JDMvW.

This is as far as I can crop, I want to see some space between frame and the left fence. I see that that chimney can grab more than necessary of attention.

Cheers.

Thank you Ricochetrider.

Yes, this is b&w medium film.

Cheers.

I think, the frame needs more of the environment to contrast and complement the bright white main subject. Great exposure by the way. I am not sure how including more of the adjacent brick buildings would play out (depends on how their shapes fit in the composition), but I am just curious about the possibility of their textures adding more interest to the main subject in the middle.

I prefer the balance of the cropped image.

 

I love the idea of someone happily enjoying their evenings, sitting in that folding chair on the "porch."

Thank you Supriyo.

I would consider the option to include the more "complicated" houses around the main object, but this will make me to loose details of the porch that I consider more important.
