AHA! I thought this looked like something I've seen in Sweden. Iceland is close though! Very pretty. I like the lines and color. I think you deserved an even higher score. My only suggestion would have been trying it under different, less harsh lighting so that you could expose the shadow areas a little better.
Something old. Use your photographic technique to emphasize the age of your subject. Composition - quite good Technical Aspects - quite good Meets Challenge - maybe. I don't get a good feeling of old here Visual Impact / Originality - good
This looks like Iceland to me, beautiful shot, one of my top three. If this is arnit, I really like the outtake of the two ladies and the sheep, belongs in National Geographic!
I liked it the other time too, Arnit. Do you mow often? I wonder what time of day it is and how it would look with more light on the front. Nice job though.
Last time we saw this, wasn't there some obstruction in the background? This must be near your home..................... I likes the simplicity of the sky and the green turf, white windows and cross as accents. I give it a 10
outstanding photo, technically. Exactly the kind of shot I would love to make. Strangely, because the colors are so vivid, the feeling of oldness is suppressed, and that works a tiny bit against my rating of this one.
Are you the one who shot this for architecture? I like it better in color. ;) Composition good, love the grass on the roofs, colors and brightness, and clarity all very good.
Turf roofs? Must be Iceland, must be Arni. This may become this weeks winner, but I think you've sold out this week. Please get back to giving your adoring public a masterclass in use of DOF and negative space.
I love the occasional opportunity to revisit a place that I have 'been' before... I remember this photo from the Architecture challenge... This image is just as nice :) If this is Arni, are you working on a seasonal series? If so, excellent subject matter... great photo... good work :) - jmsetzler
beautiful shot. I love the composition as it is but would still like to see the rest of the house. Incredible color...great dof. One of my favorites. 9 Lisa
Really nice. Using the clear blue sky to fill most of the frame along with the strong sidelit greens gives it a quiet, peaceful feel. The dark shadows created by the sidelighting on the house and especially the entryway help make the subject stand out. If only the distant cloucover had been less to create a more stark contrast where the grass meets the blue sky instead of white, but that's a minor quibble for me. Great job.
Looks like it might be arnit's entry. As always your focus, contrast and colour are all superb and the real kicker is that you have such wonderful and unusual (to us) scenery to work with. Excellent shot.
This is a great pix.The only thing that I can say is bad is the shadows on the right structure are blocked up( detail is lost in the darkplaces) and thats minor in this pix.
Nice photo. I would have converted it to black and white. Then the photo would actually look old. The very saturated colors are somehow a contradiction here.
