Lantern

A photo from southern France again, shot on an evening stroll in Buis-les-Baronnies, a very nice small town in the Drôme department that you may have seen in my photos before. The evening light hit the wall of these house fronts, but also lit up the lantern, which was what I liked about this scene. It's a complex composition and I wonder what you think about this photo. Your comments are, as always, very welcome.

Wonderful evening light and picture, Vincent! The composition can be simplified with PP (turn the upper strip of light into a shadow, turn the dark spots on the bottom right into a yellow wall, change the cropping from the bottom ). The lantern will take more attention, but it will be another picture. I like this picture, Bravo! Sincerely, Tatiana

Good one Vincent, love the light, colors and textures. Have you consider a different size crop, elimnating some of the bottom of the image. Best regards, Patrick

Hi Tatiana,

 

thank you very much for your comments and helpful suggestions! I am surely going to try your cropping advice, thanks again! Kind regards, Vincent

Hi Patrick,

 

thank you for your friendly comments and suggestion! I'm going to experiment with your advice to crop the bottom of the image, thank you for that! Kind regards, Vincent

I like the architecture of southern France and the lighting most on this photo, Vincent! My sincere compliments! PDE

Hi Pierre,

 

thank you for your friendly comments and appreciation! Kind regards, Vincent

Your intent of how to make this photo was perfectly successful with an excellent light-shadow contrast, ciao Giangiorgio

Hi Giangiorgio,

 

thank you for your very relevant comments! Although I agree with the suggestions from Tatiana and Patrick, I appreciate your focus on the shadow contrast, which is crucial here. Kind regards, Vincent
