    Really beautiful image. I really like the contrast between the bright warm colors and the muted surroundings, also the tiny yellow building on its own in contrast with the seemingly enormous red and pink ones. There is quite a dreamy sense of isolation.

    my only criticism is that I would remove the outline and vignetting or whatever that grey shadow around the edge is, it really detracts from the lovely sense of space

    Thanks Isabella for your comments.

    Maybe you are right the vignette is a bit heavy in this picture.

    Just for you to know the white space in the front and back of the houses is a frozen lake, and the yellow small house is a sauna. Finns like to leave from the boiling hot sauna, jump into the ice cold lake and go back to the sauna. They build they saunas just by the lake and when it frozen they open a hole on the ice to be able to jump in…

    Tony,
    I like this image.
    I’m sure opinions will vary but I would suggest playing around with the colour levels in Photoshop for some alternative options…such as desaturate the reds and leave the yellows as the yellow house is the main subject.
    Also the frozen lake in front can be cropped as I don’t think it adds anything.
    Even as it is I think it would benefit from a crop,
    Mike
