Patsy Clark Mansion

Please View Larger. Rating and Critiques Appreciated-

 

This mansion was built for Spokane mining millionaire Patsy Clark and

his family in 1897. Spokane's most prolific and celebrated architect,

Kirtland K. Cutter, designed the residence to be the "most luxurious

mansion ever" after a directive from the owner. Cutter traveled around

the world, collecting materials and furnishings for the house. The

exterior sepia sandstone is from Italy, the brick was made in St. Louis,

Missouri, and stained-glass windows were made by Louis Comfort

Tiffany in New York City. Patsy Clark lived in the mansion until his

death in 1915; his wife Mary remained in the house until 1926. Eugene

Enloe, an investor, purchased the house and later sold it by 1950.

I think some people will be rating this wrongly. They will rate it upon how a shot like this should look like, not what you've achieved to make it different! I believe Jim that you have overdone the p/p for the desired effect which I think is very good. The vision I have of it is a large luxurious domain, money no object..everything in it.."the best". Which is how your commentary describes it. You have created a bright, gaudy and over-saturated color effect. Which totaly fits into the plot! HDR and other p/p work accentuates this to the full, just what you needed to get your point accross. Well done mate!!!

I like your work. It's special point of view. It's really very nice. Beautiful architecture. Best ragards. Christine

While I admire your artistic vision and the effects that you've applied here; I guess I have to say that I'd be much more interested in seeing the image without the effects. But you know, we don't get everything we want do we? It looks the lighting conditions were just right; and thanks for the bit of history. Cheers! Chris
