this is a great idea. the colors are very nice, and I like the image within the image thing going on. two suggestions. if you back up and zoom in, you can get rid of the distortion that comes from shooting with a wide angle lens. also, if you stand in the middle of the two windows, you could get them nice and flat and hopefully still not catch your own reflection.
It took me a minute to see the reflecton in the windows...after seeing that, I think that this is not only a great picture but a great statement...good job! - 9
Something old. Use your photographic technique to emphasize the age of your subject. Composition - quite good Technical Aspects - quite good. Did you try this in B&W? Meets Challenge - probably Visual Impact / Originality - good. Needs some studing
I like this very much though the way the verticals of the wood aren't vertical in the frame jars a little, I appreciate you couldn't have taken it face on without being in it though so I don't know a solution. I think it's a GREAT idea for a shot.
This was a surprisingly difficult one to shoot I bet. Getting those reflections in the windows without catching yourself in there too has meant you had to stand slightly off to one side - and that means the tops of the window frames are quite square with the top of the picture frame. There's no real solution to this I dont think except perhaps getting down on the ground and shooting up at the windows. I doubt that would have made such a nice picture, though. I love the colours and the concept of the reflections. Very good work.
Great reflections. Really poignant. But I think they are a little lost. Maybe I'd have somehow cropped out the green at the bottom, or concentrated on one window in a vertical orientation.
Nice photo. Good composition leaving some of the green foliage to contrast against the weathered building. Plus, I like the speck of purple in the lower right corner for a touch of additional color. If equipment would have allowed, it would have been interesting to see if some of the reflections off the windows could have been eliminated through filters.
