I shot this house last year in Winston Salem, NC when we were heading to the mountains.
I liked the strong lines of the house for black and white but didn't like the signs in front. However, I don't think I like the shot as well cropped so I'm posting both versions.

About Me
- Carver
- My original site, Carver's Sight or is that Site, was inspired by reading the blogs of people who I got to know through the Melanoma Patient's Information Page (MPIP). As time has gone on, I find myself talking as much about gardening, photography, and other random thoughts as I do about melanoma follow up. I am happy about that. I have set up an additional site, Carver Cards, which is primarily a photoblog.

Prefer the un-cropped version; makes a nice contrast between the old house and our current need to signpost everything. How did people manage without them!
Agree with John, the "ffull" version is best!
Happy B&W Weekend to you!
The "full" version is best!
From Ingun
I like the "full" version best!
Have a great weekend :)
The uncropped version is much nicer, in spite of all those signs. What an attractive house!
Neat house!!
I agree, the signs are distracting.
I like the second cropped version better -- makes you want to see more of it!
beautifully captured!
You're right this really works in black and white. :)
I prefer to see the whole house. A beautiful house.
Neat house ... think I like the cropped version best :)
Both shots are great. I would have cloned the sign out with bushes!
The full version is my favorite too. Great in b&w.
I see what you mean. There is almost always things spoiling your shot. I liked the lines on the building too. :)
I can see what you mean about the signs, but I think I like the first version thoug! Great lines.
Have a nice week end:)
I prefer the non-cropped version. Gorgeous black and white.
That is perfect for the theme....
I love all pictures and details, this facade is very charming!

That's a lovely house.
Yup -- the full version is best, sometimes you just can't crop out all the distractions -- and the signs make me think about how many years this lovely home has probably been standing and the changes it has seen.
I think the cropped version is a more interesting composition...the signs definitely detract in the full version but is appropriate for a more documentary shot...Love the contrasts of the dark trim with the white house...and the style of the house!!!
Hmmm, nice shots but it somehow looks a little bit ominous to me...
Both looks good.
