No. 13 .... or The Beauty of Decay

Hi Bente:

This old house is not a place I'd want to store my cameras during a heavy downpour -- but it makes a wonderful subject. I think you've done exactly the right things by photograping it strong light, which brings out the beauty of its subtle color, and by presenting it in perfect perspective, which only drives home the state of disrepair. A strong and well-crafted image.

I am agree with Jim McNitt.This image is really a strong and well-crafted image/wonderful subject. Regards.

 

 

Very nice shot, Bente!

A strong image! Great Stuff!

This is a textbook study in texture and color, very well done. Best regards, Jim.

You've done a good job here. I am a bit surprised that the picture seems a tad soft close to the corners.

the colors look more like a waterpainting than a photo. But the subject of decaying/decrepit buildings is the thing I've been really into lately. I don't shoot this type of work, but I love looking at this type of work.

I bet there are many that would love to paint this! Great eye!

Excellent exposure and frame. I like particularly the blue frame into the frame which highlight the house.

Why, this is a beauty!I came across it quite accidentally as I was surfing the site. It surely deserves the highest rates. I don't really have any suggestions, the photo is about perfect in its own genre. However, there is something slightly distracting in the white area in the top left corner - I suppose it is the wall of a taller building, but it is not clear why it extends so much to the right (perspective?). Perhaps some adjustment of tones and contrast in this region would make things clearer and avoid a small distraction.

Nice colours well done captiured

Beautiful colors. Perfect!!

Wonderful compostion, and lovely subtle colours. This house has great character, well seen Bente

Beautiful work, Bente.
