Gregory and Verena -- Thank you for the comment. An earlier version of this had a tighter cropping (which was well received). But I adjusted it to contrast the brightness of the window and the delicateness of the lace with the rough and dark wood. A number of folks have compared some of my images to Wyeth's, which I take as a great compliment. My father-in-law was a 50's/60's painter in Lancaster, PA and studied with NC Wyeth.
Thanks to you all for your comments. It's great being back on PN after a 10 year absence. I've a lot of photos to catch up. I'm flattered by the response to this image. Thanks again.
Thank you for the comment Laurent. I like this image largely because it isn't the "traditional" shot of the entire complex from above. (Of which I have many.) Warm Regards - Bruce
