excellent image, just so sorry i failed to vote for this image, im still encountering problems with my internet connection...honestly, your pix is quite tricky and very creative, i meant not so usual photos that i usually saw here...just continue with this kind of style, its so beautiful and you really amazed me.
one problem with our submission is - during the voting period, the voters cant see your comments about your submission. just the image and the title...YOU MUST BE PROUD OF YOUR SUBMISSION. Good luck. |

I read the comments and then reviewed the image again. My inial thoughts remain the same.
I saw the subject as the strong structure of the window frame (right angles) played against the delicate and random structure of the tree. The blurred white window frame is a strong element (right angle) because of it's size and an important element because it foreshadows the right angles in the window pain. The fountain servers a similar purpose by foreshadowing the delicate and random structure of the tree. I still think it's a great photograph with a lot of depth.
I don't think a photograph needs to WOW you in less than a second to be good. Sometimes it takes minute to enjoy the depth.
I don't know if the photographer saw what I did, but that is probably ok too. |

Damn, Chris I meant to leave a comment on this shot and didn't - just spottd it whilst browsing through the full results. I was one of your 8's - and I only rated three photos higher.
I love the colour and depth here - those repeating layers fading a little as they recede, excellently done. I also think that perhaps more than any other shot this REALLY met the challenge - as in 'the strength of the composition' etc. : both the odd foreground blur, and the echo of it in the window-frame really pull they eye in. A difficult trick to pull off, and it's no surprise that most of us went for depictions of right angles rather than employing them as a compositional device.
There's a powerful feeling of mystery in this shot too, of a kind of yearning - it reminds me of books like Le Grande Meaulnes, or HG Wells's green door ... something glimpsed fleetingly and perhaps never to be found again: so a sense of loss also.
Most good work. Overlooked by the audience here, evidently, but yours is not the only lost photo :-)

| I really like how this photo addresses the right angle challenge. The soft white right angle in front of the repeating dark angles is great. The same layering can be found in the airy green leaves of the tree and the white fabric. Very creative and well executed. |
