A hole in the roof

I like the composition and textures a lot. My one quibble is that the grain on the vertical board on the left looks a little unreal, at least in this low-res file. You might consider backing off whatever processing did that, at least locally on the board.

Thank you for your comment. What makes you feel it is unnatural? It is a 18-19 century wooden house and the boards are well weathered. The early evening side light just highlights the beauty of the texture. It belongs to one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites btw.

I've just never seen than much contrast in weathered wood, even in strong sunlight. Even if it did actually look like that, it draws the eye away from the other elements of the composition.
