Dragonfly's Candles and Gifts

Thanks for viewing. Shot wide, it could use some perspectivecorrection, but I chose to leave it as it is.

Yes, I think this works Lannie. As you say, a little correction would not hurt, but it is an interesting photograph as it stands. Maybe I'll play "106" on the lottery tonight ;0) Regards.

Thanks, Walt. The hardest thing about this one was finding the horizon, since (1) Main St. goes fairly steeply downhill here, and (2) I was not standing right in front of the door--so it is hard to tell which line to follow in post-processing.

 

Good to hear from you.

I'm not at all bothered by the perspective, but wonder why you chose to shoot this so symmetrically. There are a lot of interesting elements in this image!

Thanks, Lou Ann. Since the file is so huge, asymmetrical crops are possible. What would you suggest? The door and one window? The door only?

Oh, I don't know that I was thinking of a "crop", Lannie - more of an original image that places the door farther right or farther left in the image. I made a square crop, just as an example, and chose to get rid of the side of the shot that has the reflection of the car so close. What do you think?

Thanks, Lou Ann. I think that it is probably as good a composition as one could get, given what I offered you to work with. The white rectangles at the bottom tend to be a little distracting on all of the treatments, in my opinion.

 

Maybe I will just go back downtown (three miles away) and see what I can get with a better original composition, or with different light. (The original was shot as light was beginning to fade.)

 

Thanks for your help, Lou Ann.

Beautiful shot with powerful colors and reflcet into the window.

 

Nice Composition.

 

Regards

Hello, Lannie. I love this. I actually like the symmetry because I get to see reflections in both windows. I would love to go in this place.
