House near Komo

Wonderful colors, good composition, very well done !

It took me a long time to compose this shot and get the right (?)

settings. My wife patiently stood by...

Does this shot work for you? Is there any way I could have (or still

can) improve it?

 

Thanks!

The colors are sumptuous, but I find either the water to be a distraction, or seeing the whole hill behind the building I feel too much tension, as if the building is struggling against the hill for our attention. I cropped it to not have any lake, and I like that better. See what you think. I could be wrong here...

I love the orange roof in contrast to the great green hill / grass / etc...

Good work !

Thank you for the kind comments. Are the electricity towers on the hill distracting? I could have removed them with PS...

The powerlines and the tiny flowers/grass in the lowerleft and the empty branch in top left bothered me, I see you removed the towers that was a good choice. I think the only way to remove the other two would be to re-shoot from a very slightly closer position or just a bit to the right. Overall a nice pic with good color.

This is one of those cases when I think I prefer the original unretouched image over the version with the "improvements" that were made with PostScript. The reason is that the presence of the electric powerline towers emphasizes the anachronistic nature of this cottage, and so makes the overall image (including the hills in the background) more interesting.

Very good this landscape, for me too... but Como inside Komo :-)

Bye!
