The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
Description
I love the windows in this place! I have photographed this one on previous trips (probably all of them) but at least in the more recent ones I remember (and can find) there was a shadow coming from the left and falling over part of the window. This time I managed to be there earlier and got a better sun angle.
Another very interesting window image, Diane. It makes me want to see what it actually is on the window sill that’s peeking out above the wood. I find it interesting that the nail heads have remained so shiny (the engineer is coming out there).
Diane, good subject and a very nice photo. I too love windows especially in mountain wooden houses. Maybe too many white little points? I don’t know.
Your image reminded me of a photo I took in the Alpen some years ago. Maybe the time is come to pick it up in my archive, I 'll look for it.
Great wabi sabi photo of what looks like an abandoned home/window. It makes me want to see more or imagine what happened in that house and think about the stories that window and curtain could tell. Great emotion in a simple photo of a window. The nails are a bit of a distraction and makes me wonder why they are so bright. I have no suggestions . It seems like it fits well into your window project. Would love to also see it in b&w.
Thanks, @Dennis_Plank, @Giuseppe_Guadagno and @robertakayne! The new nails bug me, too. This is Bodie State Historic Park and there are ongoing efforts at preservation, which probably accounts for the nails. I could try to find matching rusty ones and clone them in, or just remove them.
Interesting thought about B/W, Roberta – I like the blue/brown tones but will give it a try. Sometimes B/W can pick up some nice tonal separation.
The windows there are really something…so many tattered and faded curtains. The new nails are a double-edged sword, good to preserve and keep things literally together and bad since they don’t match!
Diane, I really like the touch up work you’ve done with these. The old lace curtains must have been pretty fancy or a big project back in the day Bodie was a hopping place. They speak of prosperity, intimate family life(?), and history; and decay and ruin. I’m not a big fan of B&W, but it really speaks to an older, faded time period with this window.
