Single Window, a photo from Guarda, North

Photographer's Note

Iґm not used to make this kind of photos... but I wil try in future! ;)
This is a window from an old house of a very ancient village (Linhares).

I hope you advise me about whatґs wrong with this photo. Thanks.

Spoony.

Hi Carlos

Excellent detailed closeup of the window & curtains. I like the texture in the stone wall. Well done!

Nothing wrong here, Carlos - it's well composed with the window in the corner and the textures of the wall are very well rendered and interesting. Very rustic. Lovely job.

Hi Carlos, the front with the window its formidable good make, everything sharp and clear, the different colours of the nature stones together with the tread on the window give a nice composition.
Well done Carlos!

Pienso que es una buena foto de acuerdo al tema. Me gusta la piedra en las paredes.
Bonitos colores y nitidez.

Muy buena.

You become a window specialist Carlos.
Very good window scene, good details and fantastic colours, I like the angle you took it, very good job

Oldtree (2457) 2004-12-10 13:51

I like your latest posts with windows and doors. In this one the texture of the stones and the nice window colors are beautiful. I can't advice you here because it looks good. Well composed. Thanks

Not sure I can find something wrong here, Spoony. Good cropping, nice offcentered placement of the window, and a crisp rendition of the stone wall's textures. A nice rustic feel to this shot, well done.

interesting work here, I liek the windows but not the metal mesh, but I guess it is for safety precautions, well done

Welcome to the window photos Carlos;-D...Well, you will discover that they are a very interesting photo object! Your framing is excellent and the wall texture details very well captured! The contrasty colors are very pleasant!

Carlos, I can't advise about what is wrong because IMO there is nothing wrong. This is exactly the kind of photo I like very much and always forget to take. "MOVE CLOSER" I have to repeat to myself. You did and that is good. A person or a cat looking out would of course have made it even better, but we can't have everything.

Nothing wrong with this shot - you spotted some nice texture on that wall -and window add extra to the image - somehow it seems a bit strange to watch as well - with that net in front - the composition also well choosen - thanks Carlos - keep up the good work.

simple and succeeded . with a strong point which would contrast with the rather uniform atmosphere the success would be total

dkeus31 (27739) 2004-12-12 7:12

Nice framing and colors.
You should try this picture when the sunrays are tangencial to the brickwall; it would give interesting light games.

kikou qui vit la dans cette petite maison on sent bon la bonne cuisine et le bon pain...original clichй...bon cadrage...savoir que c'est une photo de fenetre prise au portugal...je me sens dйjа l'envie d'aller la voir et la visiter...bien vu et merci...amicalement BI

dsidwell (9783) 2004-12-12 14:53

This works marvelously, Carlos. Your composition is formal and effective. I like how the lines of the window contrast the more round and irregular rocks. Nice work.

Cher Carlos,
Ce qui m'intйresse dans une photo, c'est l'йmotion qu'elle donne !
Ici, la simplicitй permet de faire passer une йmotion pour ceux qui aiment les vieilles pierres. La fenкtre semble raconter des histoires du passй.
J'aime beaucoup.
Trиs bien vu.

Carlos... excelente composiзгo e texturas... e interessante como a influкncia portuguesa й grande na arquitetura brasileira ( nгo sгo as novelas, nгo, viu?)... tanto que esta foto poderia ser tomada aqui.
Abraзo e obrigada pelo "feedback"
Carmem

I am very found of this windows, they show a lot of the houses of a country.
If this is a new direction to compose, please go, here you have the perfect framing, texture and colors. Simple and powerfull.

Hi Carlos, a most interesting wall. The colours and textures are good - many and varied.
I think I might have had more wall showing under the window than above it, or else made it even. That is all I think I would have changed, but I only say that because you asked what we thought. The colours are good, and especially the pink curtain flowers are similar to th red frame. Very good find, thank you.

Moi personnelement j'adore ce genre d»'image morte qui a du sens avec un contenu simple mais non moins beau pour autant . Il faut voir ces oprtunitйes choses qui m'est pas naturelles pour moi, Bravo,la nettetйe ,la prйcision est telle que je perзoit la texture ddu mur.Et que dire de fenкtre qui semble presque parler tellement elle est bien saisi , jMaime cette image ..
