General Store & Youth Hostel 2

I followed the advice of S. Spencer and adjusted this photo. I think

it is an improvement. Thanks for the helpful advice.

Linda I find the frame too heavy/thick but I like the shot quite a lot 6/6 Well Photographed.

Danny, Thanks for looking and the comments.

I'm glad my suggestion was of use. I think rotating it helped a lot. I see photoshopping visible on the frame which could still be cleaned up a little. The above comment about the heavy frame might be on target. You could try this with a white frame and a new drop shadow and see how it looks (or even construct a white mat in a thin black gallery type frame with the drop shadow outside the black frame on a white 'wall'). I think your drop shadow is a good idea. While it might be popular technique, I still like it. (but then I still like pictures of sunsets and little animals too :)

 

Thanks for sharing your pleasing imagery with us.

Excelente imagen de gran belleza, su luz y color superior, gran encuadre y magnifica composicion, saludos cordiales Linda.

Steve, Thanks again. I think I will try the different frame as well, but I'm not going to submit it. I'm glad you like my work. Best regards.

Julio,

Thanks for looking at my work and for you comments.

Best Regards,

Linda

Beautiful color and composition. It really is a very interesting and eye catching photo. Nice shot!!

Regards Andrea

Beautiful warm colours. Another great composition. I to agree about the frame, it is fighting for the attention of the viewer.

Linda, I was browsing through your portfolio and found so many beautiful images, but this one in particular caught my eye. I looks like a beautiful oil painting. Very lovely. This should be printed large and hung on a wall...I have space :) I can also see this being made into cards...especially a "missing you" kind of card since there are two empty chairs. Just a thought.

Leslie,

 

Thanks for the suggestion. That's a great idea!

A picture postcard image. I want that umbrella :) I love the mixture of the old building with all the overgrowth & the new chairs & umbrella. It looks like they're awaiting a nice parade :)

I try really hard not to just use simple comments like, "Pretty," "Beautiful," and all of the standard superlatives. I'm also not a big fan of "pretty" pictures, taken just because they are pretty. Nothing wrong with them. They just aren't me. But I must say you have done some terrifically pleasing images that capture beauty very well. This one is a step above just pretty in that your processing is excellent and there is an underlying feeling beyond just "Isn't that pretty." There is melancholy, and, as someone pointed out, a sense of something missing or someone being missed. It has emotional depth. Very well seen.

Thank you for your kind comment Linda. I was looking through your portfolio and this photo jumped out at me. I absolutely love it. I hope my portfolio developes the quality of yours. Thanks again
