While Stubbsy was busily getting the local artist to pose for the shots in this thread I was snapping away at the yellow house.
I also raise Stubbsy not one, but two whole images from his rule broken thread
Apologies if they're similar  It's hard to get different material when working in close proximity!

Yellow curves
Yellow splotches
C&C appreciated.

Some nice shots Daniel_r I particularly like the last one and I'm not sure why. I also like the strong lines in #3.
For me #2 is the weakest, the perspective makes it seem like a snap shot style photo if that makes sense.

Daniel,
last one has great colours and composition for me as well. Next would be #3.
cheers,

Funny that none of you took a shot of the whole house.
I like the colours of the last one.
Cheers,

Daniel
A great set of images, with #1 the weakest for me.
#2 - I love the perspective and placement on this - very clever idea. A tiny clone of the distracting piece of house on the middle LHS may be in order.
#3 - I like the strong use lines in this. I tried a few similar concepts of different parts of the house, but none worked. This one does.
#4 - The best and another great example of your good eye for the shot.

Nice Daniel. I like the perspective of your second shot.
After staring at the yellow house for a while it made me dizzy

I like the last one a lot - very reminiscent of Pro Hart's art blot paintings
