Doorway, Muchelney Abbey

Something brightly colored right at the light spot would work (paint can or vase or person), but I still like this, as is. It has so much depth to it and the muted colors are very pleasing.

I just saw your comment about the ladder and paint. NOoooo ... it's nice just the way it is. If you add items like a ladder and paint, you might be tempted to do the work (although, apparantly, they weren't enough to motivate me!!) :-D

Lou Ann, Your shot of the painting gear touched a nerve. I'm supposed to be doing practical things around the house too but somehow I end up getting sidetracked by MUCH more interesting things like photography.

Nice composition, Colin. I tend to agree with Kim about the lighting and like the levels adjusted version that she posted.

Wonderful colours and light, Colin. It's one of those shots that invite you to step right into the picture!

 

I've photographed the outside of this building many times but have never been inside. Thanks for whetting my appetite!! Kind regards, Chris,

Thanks Chris. If you are interested in medieval interiors, stonework and tiles and stuff like that it is worth the ?2.50 and no restrictions on photography including tripods as here.

Very nice interior. Thank you for the interesting discussion on lighting in this thread - seems to be a different perception of medieval architecture in US and Europe (?).

An interesting thought, Carsten, I had not thought of it that way. Maybe the same applies to most of the shots on PN?

and a nice photo as well.

 

Regards,

I love this, Colin. And I agree that darker is better here

The darker side of the force... may be

Ooooh. Ahhh. Pinks and browns and grays. One of my favorite color combinations. Superb.
