I was given a charity shop challenge at work, where we had £20 to spend on clothing and come up a with a low-cost location and a theme. I found the denim jacket and 70's t-shirt and thought I'd turn the summer house into a spot of Americana.
After an hour of messing around and figuring out the worlds weirdest futon, we were ready to go! I just wish when they were building this place, they didn't include the electric junction box smack bang in my shot!
Feel free to leave thoughts on the shot!

Cool photo. That could be any lake or ski house in New England, NY, Tahoe, or the Rockies.
The Americana theme would have worked well without the model too ... Take the same composition and leave the bottle on the arm of the futon, with maybe a cowboy hat thrown in, or better, cowboy/girl boots in the corner by the windows.
Haha steady on... we had £20 at the most expensive charity shop I've seen... ;) They did have a pair of retro skates though, but way out of budget! I do have a cowboy hat, but it didn't quite suit her... or me for that matter! ;)
I took a few before after base shots of the scene, but didn't put effort into composition, could do a still of it I guess, nice idea.
Yeah, adding in the trees definitely shouted America more than the fence that is normally visible...
