As my family made its way back to the car after the Bell Buckle Street Fair, this home caught my eye - the sprawling vegetation in the front covered a very large portion of the yard.

Thanks for viewing.

Great use of natural framing.. Although the bottom 1/3 to 1/4 could be cut off to make it a stronger composition, IMHO.. but it's a great shot either way! :)

Thank you, BrandonSi. I wrestled with this very thought before posting and am still going back and forth with my decision. I wanted to show the way the vegetation was taking over (with it almost covering the walkway at the bottom and also wanted enough walkway to lead the eye to the neat old house - but I didn't want to cheat the house just for the sake of the vegetation which does take attention away from the house somewhat. I'm going to work with it a bit more and see if I can find a better balance between these elements. I appreciate the suggestion very much.
