Cape St. Mary's, 2016

Nice composure and scene, well captured.

Mighty good picture, George! Bravo! PDE

Tough choices to make on brightness and contrast in this image. Possibly handled as well as could be, but there appears to be more brightness on this side of the house, which may have been toned down a bit in favor of a narrative--how the life of a lobsterman provides a big stack of obstacles to their view of home.

 

I love the deep focus, composition, etc.

 

Since you're asking for critique, I might suggest rotating the image so that the house's corners are straight, leaving the barn to lean even further. But given what I perceive in the narrative element, the house leaning ever so slightly away from the viewer does work well.

 

In all this, I'm thinking of making a photo that is definitely an 8+ into a 9+. So, perhaps I should have led with: Nice shot!

As weird as it might seem to some people, I love an abandoned house and the sound of silence with all the mystery that surrounds it.
