Ah, there is your style again! Great composition, with clear reference to roof- and wall structure differences! A pity however that the left hole (window) is almost cut off by the edge of the picture. But this is only my visual brains.

Windows! My favorite :0) I really love the "shelf" over the top of both. Interesting!

I like those 2 different shape windows. Is it a chinese architecture?

@akarui: Thanks for stopping by. This was taken about 20 minutes from my house and is a Japanese storehouse or "kura" (倉).

I so admire how you take the geometry inherent in these structures and compose an image so perfectly at rest. Very well done,

Beautiful composition with the roof cap and undulating tiles giving the image depth and dimension – almost appears as a three-dimensional item. The two windows and their individual overhangs are exquisite. And finally the rich, dark texture of the wood along the bottom compliments all other elements so beautifully. The tones (while muted) are lovely throughout. A beautiful image!

Beautiful composition. I like the light/shadow play.

Wonderful mix of textures, shapes, and colors (makes for a very interesting image). I would agree that including the full round window would make it a little bit stronger, by including the entire window and moving the rectangular window towards the edge a bit.

I love the muted tones here, and the off-square lines add complexity.

Great composition. I really like the tones and the detail of the tile and ornate windows, but my favorite part has to be the beautiful wood along the bottom.
