Interiors of old churches (or more general: temples) are fascinating places - for centuries people have gathered here. The b/w treatment suits well to convey the history of this place - what I particularly like is the light: although not very dominant there are spots of light from the windows above and lines of shadows. -
Vielen Dank für Deinen Kommentar! -
I like such very geometric compositions - and I think you've balanced the large bright area of fresh yellow quite well with the very dark tonality of the window itself. Of course the protective sheets covering the window frame tunes well with the immaculate texture of the freshly painted wall. -
Daniel, many thanks for being so honest (that the earlier version was a lucky accident) and posting the initially intended orientation. I find it hard to decide whether any version is better - this one is certainly easier to decode for the eye - while the sideways orientation is more challenging (in a positive sense). -

I'll join the praise - it's the combination of colours, texture and lines that make this a compelling photo (admittedly, I have a predilection for such photos that turn textures into almost haptic experiences). -
Daniel, indeed an ingenious photo and caption - with the orientation and burred lines through the foreground you're creating an eerie undercurrent that adds a dark side to this innocent beauty. @Jack: sad to hear from your plan - in case you'll share photos on some other platform - please let us know! -
Michael, many thanks for your encouraging feedback - your comment turned out not to be so "brief" :-) -
Light (and shadow) can make all the difference - and your timing (morning light - with dew drops on the weeds) and framing (against the dark sky) work really well here. -
Jack, your magic camera was again at work turning neglected mundane objects into phantastic creatures! -
In some ways this is different from the quite much of the work you're sharing here - which is great (and I envy a bit - currently, I'm feeling I'm following too much my trodden paths...). It is lively and "street"-like - could be from a documentary about Japan. By including the streetscape to the left you took a risk, which payed off very well, because it is balanced nicely by the flowers (towards which the family is moving). -
It's the combination of photo and caption that works so well here. -
Great photo! Reminds me of Lee Friedlander - especially the photo where he placed bumpy shaped clouds on top of a road sign warning of bumps... and a great example of the fact that choosing both your location and the direction you're pointing your camera are probably the most powerful tools a photographer has. -
Well observed & great timing - I like the dyncamics in both the lines of the foam and his posture. -
@Vincent, Patrick: many thanks for your kind words!
