Photographer’s Note
This shot is sort of an optical illusion - it was taken on a warm, mostly sunny day. Behind the brown hills in the FG is a valley, and the snowy and stormy looking clouds in the BG are just the wafts of low clouds on the peaks of the mountains behind this valley. The effect here was due to where I aimed the shot (from down the hill, looking up).
The foreground is in Deer Park Heights near Queenstown, and the mountains in the background are the peaks of the Remarkables. The building in the center is the Korean Prison, built in 1986 as a movie set for a children's Walt Disney movie "The Rescue".
Cropped to accentuate the "effect".

Hi Jen, Beautiful picture, I liked the mist on the backgound mountain, nice angle and framing of the house. Thanks for sharing. Andrew

An unusual picture, well seen. One step to the left and you would have had the entire roof on it, maybe a bit less of the rock and a tiny bit more blue background for the proportions. But it's an interesting photo nonetheless, inspite of the undefined sharpness.

Very nice framing. The placement of the house fits perfectly as it is reinforced by the surrounding rocks and hill and the red roof. The color contrasts are also excellent.
For improvements I could suggest rotating the image 2 degrees counter-clockwise, and applying more sharpness to enhance the details and clarity.
