Moonrise - Bowens Mill Farmhouse

Thoughts welcome - especially on composition.

Thanks, David

Actually, when viewing the thumbnail I questioned the placement of the house in the frame, but upon opening it up I see the moon and it all works.  Well done... Mike

Hi David,

  Beautiful image with wonderful composition & details.  Take care, Patsy

I like the angle of the building and it's proportions within the frame. I also the fine detail when viewed large, though I do have yearning to see a bit more of the area to the right.

Compliments & Best Regards

Thanks Mike, Patsy, and Alf.

This house has always intrigued me, but I find a certain tension in the house itself and in this composition.  The house had it's weather side re-painted, and I believe the second story windows were covered up. It is abandoned now.  The placement in the frame was to allow inclusion of the moon in the upper right, but resulted in the front façade of the house leading the eye left.

So, I still like this photo - especially the color and detail, but am ambivalent about the comp.

Best, David
