Window, Wolfram's Eschenbach

Bet this would have been better if I'd gotten there in May! (JPEG

artifacts are the inevitable result of getting a detailed 600x800

pixel image down to 100K.)

Les, windows are one of my favourite subjects but in this shot I'd suggest you to crop about half of the wall over and under the windows (resulting in a more rectangular format) and, IMHO, you have raised too much the saturation. Kind regards,

Very appealing photo. The colours are a bit oversaturated for my taste, but i still like it overall.

Yup, yup, ran the Saturation slider about as far as it will go in ACR! I wish I had a Saturometer that I could use to examine other people's photos on P.N. I think I could demonstrate a direct correlation between scores for aesthetics and degree of saturation...

 

Les, Point taken. Truth is, the more brilliant the colors, the better we like 'em. Saturometer! LOL. I've kind of wished P.N. had an automatic system that reveals how many people who advise cropping just bought their digi cam last month and now they're experts telling people to destroy good composition in order to crop down to nothing but the subject, "bull's eyed" right in the middle. I make no pretentions about being anywhere near professional level; but I did get a roar out of your "Saturometer." Now, it's my turn to be an arm-chair photo critic. Maybe the material was not there to shoot; but I'd like, rather than hack off the top and bottom, see more to the right and left so that the windows don't seem to be pushing the edges.

 

My qualifications for being a critic: Bought digi cam last month, joined Photo.net yesterday and now own my second copy of Popular Photography. Oh, the free software that came with my digi cam is AMAZING! And my ex-wife was a photo contest judge at the county fair in 1987. She gave the blue ribbon to the picture looking down at the kid with ice cream all over his face..."It was SO keeyoooot!"

 

(I hope you believed all that, LOL.)

under rated in my humble opinion. a very nicely artisitic shot. tones are great, colors are pleasing, well composed and a pleasure to my eye. Great work. There is one small nit pickish comment... I would love to see this cropped a bit tighter on the top and bottom. Seems it would look interesting. anyway, very good job!

Very nice shot...I can appreciate the other comments about cropping tighter both on top and bottom, but the stonework is just TOO good unerneath to crop it out! I like it fine the way it is, colour saturation is spot on for me, enjoyed! regards, June.

Starting from the immense details, through the great coloring, to the warm lighting, everything is nice on this one!

 

A very exciting capture!

Very nice composition. It caught my eye right away.

Very nice ... I like the colours of this shot.

nice and soft lighting...

I like the tone and the colors...

best regards

nice work

 

 

 

It's excellent, and unique the way it is. I had similar thoughts re more space, particularly along the left border, and cloning it in looked good, but lost the impact. I cropped from the top and that was no improvement whatsoever. Cropping from the bottom would serve no purpose, as it would destroy the balance, the more recent stone patchwork in the lowere right corner, provides the larger left window.

Tried sending you an email with the reworks(small). It was immediately returned as non deliverable/permanent failure. Just thought you should know, in the event you've changed your address or prefer keeping it private, and PN isn't aware of it.

Wonderful warm color and light, great texture and composition!

very effective. The bright saturated colours makes this place feel very jolly, even if the stone work makes it look stuck in time.

Good shot and colors ! Well done !

There is a lot to love about this image. I like the contrast of one window with one pane and it's 1/4 size of the larger, four paneled window. Nice warm colors and great balance.

nice composition and colours
