Des couleurs qui ressemblent à l'automne et qui cadrent bien avec les montants des fenêtres de cette maison que la nature a décidé de faire sienne ...

Color from Sharon two days in a row; wow! This one is absolutely stunning. The composition and the lighting are outstanding. And that color blows me away.

I like since you have put off center the composition. And since cause that the view crosses all the photography. Beautiful saturation in those red colors.
Greetings

Stunning! I wish my house was covered like that. It is like a cave in Mother Nature's arms. Lovely.

Beautiful treatament on colors.
Love that half window, it communicates an unsettling feeling that works 100% with the compo.
Great ;o)

@Polydactyle: thank you :)

Good work. Although I must say that I keep having the same problem as always with your photos: They are too dark on my screen. It only happens with your photos, does it happen to anyone else? Is it my screen? Why only with your photos? Just trying to help :)

@xavier cardell: Thanks so much Xavier :) I'm sorry but I don't think I can be of any help. I personally find that Am3 lightens things for me. My images generally are dark (that's just the way I shoot and process) and I do view them on both of my Macs which do have bright monitors. But I also look at them on the PC at work, which for me makes everything quite dark, but then that's how everyones images look to me, but never too dark. Thanks for your observation.

Oh, Sharon....this is so beautiful. What a pretty window and so perfectly framed with such beauty. The colors are gorgeous.

I think the darkness of your images is part of the strength of your overall style. I love the deep colors and shadowy nature of this scene. Goes well with the verse.

couleur des feuillage sur ce mur sombre, des taches colorées qui créent une envolée pour ne pas perdre pied dans cett atmosphère un peu triste... la lumière est tout pret.. juste à portée de regard ..au delà des feuillages.

great composition. I see that you have increased the darkness in the image to give it a creepy effect. good stuff.

Great colors, Sharon! Love the pushed blaks. And.. you and I are kind of season confused today ;0)
23 Apr 2009 5:24pm
@Nataly: Thanks Nataly. Funny thing about this...it was actually taken in April. Not sure what kind of vine resides on this hotel, but it's leaves are that colour through most of the year. Autumn in spring, gotta love that :)

Wonderful capture. The colours are superb!

This is a super image, because you use a limitated color palette (3-4, colors are not a sur-information, disturbing). In fact, you constructed this color image the way you make a BW image. I like this processus ;)
btw ,About callibration, dark yes, too dark never! (same thing than you Sharon, on my mac with a Quato hardware callibration screen, it's perfect, a bit darker on other not callibrated machines)

We have similar vines planted so it covers a building but not this red and robust. Beautiful shot.

Very nice. Did you try cropping out the top window?
26 Apr 2009 8:08pm
@twodot: Thank you. I did consider it, but then it was too symmetrical for me so I decided against it.
