Thanks for your comments K. I did maneuver so the grass showed through the windows, and liked it better than other perspectives I shot. I also like the foundation of the house in the frame because, for me, it tells a bit more of the story, even if pure visual appeal might be improved by removing it. I also see it as a bit of contrast to the stark redness of the subject.
Like the shot and agree with Trav - it's an additional touch that one can see through the windows. I may be wrong but I think the picture would look stronger without the bottom of the bilding - only red wall and the windows.
