Pretty as a picture! Wonderful natural light and excellent composition; I'd consider cloning out the burst of light from the interior through the window, however. High marks from me in any case.

quaint and lovely

I'm green with envy. Even the shadows on the wall contribute

The colors in this image are really striking. You got them all it looks like. I'd like to see all of the tree on the left instead of having it cut off, though. I'm down with the window suggestion too. Great image.

How pretty! such a simple little house, but so quaint and made beautiful with those flowers and the forest..I agree on taking out the light from the inside of the house..and yes, the whole tree, or at least some of the leaves on the branches would be great..but thats almost "pickey"..I mean the photo is just very pretty..the colours are soooooooooo nice!! I have naver liked blue houses, but wow, this one is very pretty. Yes, and the shadows give the whole photo such character!! bravo!!!

What's on the other side of the tree??? Great shot!

Perfect shot...house looks lived in with the light. Who took this image?;-)

Thanks for your comments...I took this picture myself. What I meant with the description is that I wished the house with garden was mine.
Concerning remarks about removing the interior light: I try to show pictures right out of the camera, without editing in the computer. My pesonal view is that once you start editing too much with Photo Shop or similar programs, you can even make a pile of shit look good! I try ty limit the computer work to cropping pictures only. Hope you all agree.

Really lovely colours, and contrast. i dont mind the light in the window either. i like the shadows too. Favourits. :)

I wish the garden was mine, too ...
Thanks and congratulations. 10/10, in favs.

Fantastic, I wish I lived there too !! I hope it'a as happy a home inside as it looks outside. Great shot.

Hmmm... an idea for the next contest?!? ;-) Haooy to say that this isn't a pile of anything though. Just a very bright, eye-catching and well done shot of a great subject.

Is there anything left to comment?? I think all the good comments have been taken! Love it!!

Beautiful picture well done

Paul, this has to be one of the 'happiest' images I have seen in a very long time. The colors of the house, the shadows from the vegetation, the reflections in the window, the light (okay by me), the wonderous field of flowers and a tree!! Who could ask for more. I like the tree where it is..it adds something to the image. Makes it more 'real' than 'posed'. The light shows this home is lived in & the flowers show that it is taken care of.....I am with you on this...wish it were mine! High marks and into my fav's on my h/d. What a cheerful desktop this will make on a cold, rainy autumn day. Thanks for posting it!

i am so with you on editing...none of my images are edited either although i do look to play with photo shop nice picture

Nice composition, lovely colours. Thanks for sharing.

This photo is totally charming. The colours and dappled light work so well together. I like it just the way it is. Doing anything else is unnecessary.

Beautiful shot!!! I wish it was mine too.

Great shot

I wanna buy this house *lol*..wonderful pic :-)

What a treat to see such lovely colors, including the house. No CC&R's there! Country special!

Beautiful place... wish I could live there, too.

WOW...I like how you limit editing. I don't mind things like that light within. In fact I really liked that...This reminds me of somewhere I was once...and I smiled so big when I saw it. Thank you for this beautiful capture!

Looks great - appears very natural and clean... crisp, even. Colors turned out great!

I wish it was mine too. This my dream cottage :-)

absolutely marvelous!

beautiful cottage
