aepelbacher 0 Posted January 6, 2006 When I was in Europe, I came to the quick realization WHY people photograph doors and windows and alleys. WOW! They're so photogenic. So ... you'll see some pics here that I took of windows and doors and alleys in Europe. This one was in Monpazier in Southwest France. Enjoy!! Link to comment
ljk 0 Posted January 6, 2006 I love the color of the shutters, and the moss growing on the ledge. Oh yes, and the one broken louvre ;-) Keeps it from being perfect (not really!) Link to comment
aepelbacher 0 Posted January 6, 2006 Thanks, Linda! I was actually thinking that you might like this one. :-) And, yes, I agree that the broken louvre makes the shot! Link to comment
afterthoughts 0 Posted January 6, 2006 This is charming already but the missing slat in the door just adds even more to the picture. Link to comment
cjrupp 0 Posted January 7, 2006 Balconies and flowers make for wonderful love stories, very nice Lou. Link to comment
mari_mar 0 Posted January 7, 2006 Wonderful, Lou Ann, very lovely capture. The dark corners of my pic are just terrible black clouds, you could see them in my actual photo. Thanks for your comments, dear friend! Link to comment
home page1 0 Posted January 7, 2006 Very nice, Lou Ann. Great composition and execution. Well done! Link to comment
colin carron 58,916 Posted January 7, 2006 I like the row of pots! These sorts of balconies are more a mediterranean feature as it gets too cold to sit around outside further north. Link to comment
sondra kick 0 Posted January 7, 2006 Lou Ann, this is great, reminds me so much of Europe. The flower pots on the balcony and the shutters are a dead giveaway. I know this is France, but it could be almost anywhere in Europe. Very nicely captured. Link to comment
jayme 0 Posted January 7, 2006 Lou Ann- I love this. It reminds me of a painting. I just couldn't resist playing with this one and showing you my interpretation. Not meant to be better, just a variation. Now that my arm is healing I can do some small stuff. I gotta get back in practice. Link to comment
aepelbacher 0 Posted January 7, 2006 YAY!! Jayme - feel free to play with any images of mine that you ever want to! :-) I saved what you did ... thank you SO much!! I'm going to re-post it smaller so that everyone can enjoy it without clicking. Link to comment
pnital 36 Posted January 8, 2006 Very typical look in villages ( balconies and windows) in France, and you caught the essence. Beautiful, and other nice posibility of Jayme's. Pnina Link to comment
wilsontsoi 0 Posted January 8, 2006 I like the insert "re-do" version with more shadow detail. Good symetry, Lou Ann. Link to comment
jayme 0 Posted January 8, 2006 Glad you liked it, I played with it off & on for a few hours (something I just had NOT been able to do). Now I just have to get busy with some of my own images awaiting processing. :) Link to comment
kslonaker 0 Posted January 8, 2006 I like the original, but Jayme took this up a notch, imo. Nice work, Lou Ann - you have to have a quality shot in order to "play" in PS. Link to comment
Landrum Kelly 64 Posted January 12, 2006 I really like this, Lou Ann. I like wrought iron in all manifestations, and doors and windows are always nice. The first thing that hit me was that it was so close to being perfectly symmetrical that it was probably worth the while to do the perspective correction/crop in Photoshop, which is what Jayme did. I am not sure that I would have cropped it exactly where she did, but I don't know if there really much choice, given the small amount of shutter visible on the left. This is very good work, in any case. --Lannie Link to comment
p. easter 0 Posted February 11, 2006 to be able to open these shutters on a sunny spring morning? Lovely shot, excellent color. Link to comment
carsten_ranke 0 Posted February 15, 2006 I love this kind of shot, beautiful textures and colors, nice details to enjoy. The perspective correction is surely a good idea. Link to comment
laurentlacoste 0 Posted June 29, 2006 Beautiful, Lou Ann. Those 19th Century houses for the Bourgeois and notables are typical. Very well seen. Link to comment
