Comedy ... Tragedy

I like the lines and repititions here. What do you think?

Any comments or ratings are appreciated!! :-)

Lou Ann, I like the lines, repetition and especially the title ;-)!!....well seen and cropped. Pnina

Thanks, Pnina! I actually spent quite a bit of time playing with the perspective on this ... and am still not satisfied ... I think it's still leaning a bit. :-) But I was really very pleased with all of the thirds. Thanks for visiting!

I think this worked, Lou Ann. Nicely balanced.

Well done, Lou Ann, this is wonderful!

Really nice, Lou Ann. The symmetry of composition and the details really work for me. One of your better images IMHO.

I agree with Ken. Bravo

I think you did great with perspective correction. Very nice capture of architectural detail and good decision to go with b&w on this one.

I like the lines and repititions too and it made me smile :-) - 'all life is here!'. Nice formal shot and very well lined up. The odd thing is that everything is straight except for the pediment with the 'Comedie....Opera...Tragedie' on it which rises slightly to the right. -er?

Although I KNOW that the camera wasn't held correctly to get a straight shot, I also believe that the building may not have been exactly "straight" either! Here's the original for comparison.....

Well done, great crop. I like the B&W!

Beautiful and classic architectural photography. Well done, Lou Ann!

Lou Ann, great find, well done, good crop and wonderful composition. Sondra

Very nice Lou, like the B&W,agree with all.

hmmm...yes, definitely a bit wonky. (There's one for your US-UK dictionary!)

Um, so, Colin ... you're agreeing that it's not quite level, huh?

Lou Ann, great to see you coming along with your PS skills. Nice exposer and balance here. It's not far enough out to bother my eye, but thats not saying much I am allways accused of being out of wack. Keep up the good work. Cheers Nova :)

Sorry Lou Ann, you will perhaps be angry against me, but I am not sure that this photo merit so much of 6. I find it boring, without nothing attracting, the light is frontal, forming no interesting shadow on the facade, there is no search in the composition, you have contented yourself with cuting up a rectangle in the facade, divided in six equal parts... Really, I don't understand what is there here so interesting. Regards, Henri.

Nope, Henri ... not at all angry with you. I most certaily appreciate your candor. I think this image needs context to be appreciated. In fact, I don't think that it would stand alone. Hey - you gave me an idea. Wait a bit, and then check out my next upload. :-) Warm regards!

That's right - the pediment appears to be off just a tiny bit. But I shouldn't worry about it. Old buildings are often not quite straight.

interesting use of BW. well done.

Nice crop, and perspective correction is really perfect. Has enough interest for me (country bumpkin, I am)

Good composition, Lou Ann. Well balanced

Hello, Lou Ann, is this the front of the Comedie Francaise in Paris, or some other theater? A symbol of classical drama in France, Moliere for comedy, Racine for Tragedy and I don't remember the third character right now? A well-chosen subject for a beautiful photograph. I find B&W an excellent choice.
