Sometimes it happens that I take a photo without knowing why. When I download it, I don't like it and perhaps even contemplate deleting it. Then, if it passes the deleting stage, I try a different approach, like cropping in various ways and frames. Occasionally, that improves the pic in my eyes.
The photo above is one such case. I'm not sure exactly why I took it. The initial frame was vertical but it didn't work so I almost deleted the whole picture. Then, for some reason, I tried to crop it as you can see and still wasn't exactly thrilled about it. The blossoming branches are a bit of a mess and I wasn't sure about the window in soft focus. But the more I looked at the pic, the more it appealed to me although I can't say why. So I decided to share it although I still don't know why...

You good photographers are so picky LOL. If I would have taken that I would have taken a million bows. It's beautiful...it's peaceful and serene to me.
I'm glad that you you didn't delete it. I like that shot a great deal. Makes me wonder what's inside.
It's rural and peaceful and lovely and Springtime. I love it. I like the contrast of the white crisp flowers against the rough gray clapboards.
I like the flowers and the background seems just right.
I never know why I like pictures.
Nessa just said exactly what I was going to say. There is a "tall glasses of lemon-aide, rocking on the front porch" kind of old-world charm to this.
It's a beautiful and peaceful composition!
