a window again Photo

Photographer’s Note

A window again, the same place, but it’s quite different.
I think this is not a very special window, but I like the old ornament on the wall.

I’ve chosen the sepia version because I think it gives more emphasis to the pattern, even if I like the blue of the colours one in the WS.

If you want to know something about this small ancient village, you can read it here.

Hello Ale. The sepia tone works very well on this window, but not on the rest of the facade (IMO). The upper part of the wall seems too bright on my screen. I can't understand if this is simply white color of the wall, or if the photo is a bit overexposed. This is a simple composition, but gracious as all your shots. Thank you.

Ale, mi pare che non ci sia molto contrasto nella scala (ho visto l'istogramma della tua foto). Tu hai la passione per il bianco e nero, ma io preferisco delle due versioni che hai fornito in alcune occasioni sempre quelle a colori (per adesso). Se poi ti piaceva l'ornamento non l'hai esaltato centrando la finestra.
P.S. Questa volta sono stato duro, ma qui si impara anche a criticare. So che non me ne avrai.

Again you spotted a fine detail on a beautiful old building from your region, Alessandra. The window is nice, but kind of secondary in comparison to the ornament which is the real attention-drawing element in your shot for me. The texture and different painting on the house wall is also interesting. While the brightly painted area beside and above the window looks okay in the color version, it looks a little too bright for my taste - like an overexposure - in the sepia version. It's difficult to pick between the two versions, but I think I slightly prefer the colored one. Thanks for sharing!

Starting from your color version, I did a WS for you to show you an attempt at a less bright b&w version. I hope you like it ;-)

una finestra, again yes but are nor windows one the most vital part of a house, the let in the sun, the light, the cheerfulness etc. I like the sepia color and the simple architectural detail, to do a photo with little is art.

Good composition with the border in the top, good tone, but the light is not so good in here, it is overexpoced.

by the way i might have cropped the pear tree one, i can't do it from here.

Hmm... I like both your version and Norbert's alterations of the original... I really like how you isolated these details from a larger scenery, the frontal angle works really well, good compo too; simple, yet very effective. From which year dates this house actually?

La passione per le finestre sta prendendo piede... ottimo!
Mi ricorda le ore passate in camera oscura a sviluppare carta Ilford opaca, per poi virarla seppia per quell'aspetto 'anticato'.
Che devo dire ? complimenti!
