empty spaces 2011 the last remaining light - 2

comments and critiques are welcome, thank-you!

A night photo with a difference, simple yet exciting by the composition. That spotlighted window is icing of the cake, and the shadow line on the wall is nicely mimicing the lamp post. Yes, you did a great job here, straight into my favorities.

The mood and colors are very evocative.  I balance of cold blue and warn orange/gold light is very pleasing, as is the visual balance of showing three lampposts vs. just one or two.  I also like the diagonal line that connects the lampposts with the window, arguably the strongest focal point in the photo.  The only thing I am unsure of is whether you need to extend the photo as high up vertically as you have.  I suspect cropping it about halfway down would still convey the same mood but keep the eye from wandering up into the far less interesting top half of the image.

The elements of design: light, color, texture, line, shape are all at work here in a stellar presentation. Mood evoking with avant-garde, striking POV. I am enjoying the THREE lights. So much to appreciate in this capture!!

Thank-you so much Markku, placing a photo "straight" into your favourites is always a great support for me!

 

@ Michael: thank-you for your critique and appreciation. Regarding the crop: the original shot is vertical, I tried also a square and horizontal crop (which I attach here), but even though I felt that the vertical extention of the house, in darkness, added some mistery to the window beneath the halo of the street lamp. Also I didn't like to loose the gradient of the sky and its "last remaining light".

 

@ Catherine: thank-you for your "scientific" analysis, I appreciate you designer's eye!

Best regards Marco!

Keep the vertical one, i reckon I'll see it hanging on a wall quite soon. Marco

Bella foto Marco, preferisco la verticale.

Thank-you all for your comments!
