Old Cottage

Hi, Frode,

I was deeply impacted by your old cottage image when revising landscape photos. A lonely house and a creative sky is a let´s say quite common subject BUT:

 - Originality comes from your color treatment, close to black and grey in the terrain and the old house in ruins and full colour in the sky.

 - Some light grey tones mixed in the sky with blue, pink, orange are helping to make a softer contrast with the dark first distance.

 - Another main detail that also impacted me is that those small holes thru the wood material of the house are also showing a clear sky and giving the photo its individuality and "enchantment".

- The composition with the hill coming up from left to right is very singular giving a very equilibrated diagonal composition.

Thanks for sharing. Wndrful photo. Ikusi arte - see you in basque language. Josemi Gondra.

P.D.: I think you have not abused of posttreatment (I do not like usually), but I could be wrong. Usually, some photo masters could do a lot of post treatment and make it "natural".
