Villa

Love the light here and the cross process look and feel of this very fine image!

Raymond, you made my day!

Dear Franz, I do not only like the use of light in this image, so different in the foreground and in the background behind the stairs, but I also like the tonality: the sun, which gives an evocative character, warm yellow/green (not bright ones) make us think of many "sweet" afternoons of our lives (now kept in memories) and the different greens of vegetation: give certainly charm.

Congrats and Tschüss.

Kindest regards, Laura

It's just so downright.... pleasant.  Excellent... Mike

Laura, Mike, thank you so much for your kind comments.

Best regards,

Franz

You made me cry with this one!

Cheers to that

Pierre oder wie immer Du auch heisst, herzlichen Dank!

Something so simple yet so artistic. You have a gift.

Very nice kind of green tone here. I'd cut bottom part (in a square), because - imho - it looks to "heavy" in contrast with upper ones.

Regards,

Serge

Tony, Serge thank you for sharing your thoughts. Serge, adjust your Monitor.

What I like here is that it has a painterly feel. Unfortunately, many photographers interpret painting to mean pushing a paint filter button in Photoshop, which usually rings quite hollow and somewhat kitschy. Your photo has a sophistication in referencing the light of some of the more sublime paintings and it's content, staid and austere, suits well the play of light and shadow. I feel as if I'm being invited. 

Hi, I just want to say that I totally agree with Fred G.

Many photographers think that "art" is like using a "texture" of photoshop, or click the button of a filter in a program

:( Not so ...

Photography is different to canvas & oils, different techniques ...  photography has got ist own textures in surfaces or even noise... canvas has got texture with the aid of time and deterioration or just mixing solid elements with oils, but Art is in both of them and in many facets where man is present with his love for beauty of life and his desire to shape it.

What should an image have to be considered as Art? obviously not necessarily a "texture". It's the way photographers may capture an experience, a vision, a feeling, a hope ... that is unique and valuable in itself.

Again congrats Franz, it's a very suggestive and evocative image.

The light is the most magical in it, no doubt.

Kindest regards, Laura.

Laura, Fred,

thank you so much for your kind comments. It was a gift to see that house in that moment with that light. The only changing is a little bit sharpening.

Best regards,

Franz
