Untitled

There's a timelessness and peace to this shot that I find very attractive. It almost seems located more in the mind than any real place (though I know it is some actual place, of course, unless you've found some way to photograph your reveries.)

Linda, superb composition and tonality. I agree with Jack.

a remarkable and unique composition... Jack has said it well... you have my respect and admiration for this outstanding work... 

Kind of crop protection I suppose. That aside, this is a very interesting and eye catching b/w work. Compliments Linda, fine capture. ( P.S. Hope it's not the roof a multipurpose sports-hall...)

This is like a detail of old Italian painting from renessaince period. Very often they used in religion portrait paintings this kind on arches and landscapes for background.

I like the tones and composition. Nice work indeed!

A very well done photo that fits nicely into your portfolio. The overall graphic feel and approach is made more interesting by the framing, perspective, and natural landscape that backs it. I like the layered approach you took, with the strong, dark division provided by the trees running in the foreground of the landscape. The lines play very well here. Architecture can be as monumental as mountains.

I'm pleased that you chose to comment on this photo.  I was disappointed that I was unable to eliminate some of the noise in the background.  Jack - although a compelling thought, I prefer to leave my reveries in my imagination. Gunnar -  your reference to a renaissance painting is appreciated and why I chose to leave the arches. Fred - I appreciate your comments on the layering----I felt it unified the photo somehow. As to your reference to this fitting into my portfolio, I hope that doesn't suggest that I'm becoming too predictable.

Thanks again to all for your comments. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~L

Not predictable. Developing a voice.

An impressive image - a  visual contrast delight! Soft mountains and sky aligned with the hard curvy architectural elements. I could even read something erotic into this but I won't. Mon Chapeau! PS I like the noise in this image.

Thanks,Fred, for your reassuring comment.  Your visits and suggestions are welcome and appreciated. Tony , I'm glad you like it.  Thanks for your interesting thoughts. ~~~~~L

it is indeed a beautiful piece, an elegant meditation.  Appears to viewer as if a dream, if you could photograph a dream it would probably feel as this photograph looks.  And you’re so right refraining from giving it a title Linda -- you knew it would intrude.

Finest grey tones and shapes.

Regards

I appreciate your comments, Saad.~~~~~~L
