Dubrovnik window

For once, I think I got the composition of this one about right. The

window was higher up than it probably looks in the photo. From

memory, I think I used a zoom and tripod. Camera was Nikon F3, Fuji

Velvia 100, slide was pro-scanned by Peak Imaging.

John: I like the colors, but do think the photo would be better if you corrected the distortion do to the low camera angle. Tom

Nice architectural detail.

The combination of the bright red flowers with the muted scene makes for a compelling image.

Thanks guys, comments much appreciated.

Tom, I know what you mean, of course, but one of the reasons I was pleased with this shot was the fact that the window didn't look nearly so distorted as I expected. Your adjustment, I reckon, goes a bit too far, making the window frame look narrower at the bottom than the top.

Obviously, the flowers growing out of the window were what attracted me, but I love the texture on the surrounding wall too. The only snag is the yellowing under the windowsill.

Cheers

John

John, I agree with your assessment regarding the distortion adjustment - I too like the original. It is too bad about the yellow distraction, I'm sure a photoshop expert could take care of it (I couldn't.)

I love the subdued colors contrasted by the floral explosion. And the wall is wonderful! thanks for sharing it.
