Challenge:Blue (Classic Editing) Camera:Canon PowerShot G2 Location: Cape Town , South Africa Date: Dec 1, 2002 Aperture: 2.2 ISO: 100 Shutter: 1/50 Date Uploaded: Dec 1, 2002
the line at the bottom of the image where the wall meets the ground is distracting. if the shot were lowered just a little, it would be much better. also i think it should be just a little bit brighter. not by much though. 7
A great idea and I love the off-centeredness (is that a word?) The bluish cast on the white walls is unfortunate, as is the harsh lighting on the wall. Still, overall a great picture that is perfect for the challenge. muckpond
One of my favorites this week. I love the colors, the composition, and I must have a *thing* about photos of doors, because I seem to be drawn to them. At first, I didn't care for the darker area at the top of, and above, the door, but the more I look at it, the more I think it suits the photo. It gives it a more mysterious feel. lhall
lol someone did some checking into the red contest it appears.. I have seen this image before.. but I won't count off for that... if anything an extra point for doing your homework! nice pic ~anachronite
i like this idea, 2 things I would try maybe a fill flash to get the door evenly lit and open the door wider to show what is behind it...okay 3 things I would try cropping out the lower floor to just start the pic at the white... 7 rll07
challenge ~ met composition (content) ~ nice framing by the growth over the wall at the top, and good placement of door to the side. colors are a little more muted than i personally prefer. good detail throughout though. i would've cropped the bottom just a little more, maybe just to the bottom of the blue panels, so that the sidewalk is not visible. background ~ nice and simple, complements w/out distracting. camera work (technical) ~ ok digital processing (technical) ~ photo could be a little sharper through use of unsharpen mask. other than that, the photo is fine, no visible pixelation or anything like that. my opinion ~ i have a thing for open doors, they suggest mystery and make you wonder what's behind. you enhanced this further by making just a little bit of what's behind the door visible. i don't care much for the signs on the door or the doorbell on the right, they take away a little from the oldfashioned kind of feel of the shot, but i understand you didn't have control over those and couldn't very well remove them ;) ~~ gr8photos
Too bad it was probably overcast when you took this shot.....Lighting would have enriched (especially at sunset) the blue here...Love the subject though.....Good luck!
Eeewwie I like this shot very much. I would of liked the top of the door a bit lighter and you can still do that with levels. The bottom also needs to be trimmed just a hair! WOW this is cool.....The secret garden...Pretty shot. Love it very much. Where ever this is I hope you can go here and shoot more .....!!! Justine
