I'm really not well versed in making a suitable canvas for a vertical shot so this is about the best I can do. Quite simplistic. I annually attend a month-long silent meditation retreat and this building is on the grounds of the retreat center. It is a cobb building, which means the walls are made of straw and then covered over with a mud-like substance, which is then painted. The builders also put plants on the roof to catch the rain water and some rock to diversify the texture. I was walking out of the woods just as a single ray of sunshine found its way through the trees and onto the building.

Pretty building. I like the different colored stones in it. It is interesting how the one ray of light shines right on the roof.

An interesting house, looks like the builder changed his idea half way through :P. In a very nice location by the looks of it.

I like the picture. Very nice. You seem to have the same problem as me with vertical shots. I just take it to either photofiltre or photoimpression and do something light and creativey to a black background.
