    Re: Picture Window in the Basement

    The window is askew in the frame, the image is grainy with really high contrast and there is just a little detail visiable in the interior. I am sure you know that so tell us what you were trying for here.
    No, I DON'T need that.

    the window is in a small hospital cafeteria. It just struck me as very vivid and bright. I wanted to portray that impression.

    Don I'm willing to bet this would work quite well as a sort of abstract if someone's silhouette was in the third chair from the right. Got a self timer on that thing?
    It is the dilema of all who try to capture images that what works for eyes doesn't always work in a photo.
    Keep Shooting!

    It is not a bad composition I only wish that all of the window frame fit into the photograph with a little black around everything (which is probably why I shoot so much with very wide angle lenses).
    No, I DON'T need that.

    Re: Picture Window in the Basement

    I think I saw what you were going for, and the fact that you mentioned it to MB1 has me seeing it more easily. I agree that having some black around the entire image (so that the corners of the windows do not touch and go off frame) would work better visually. You can easily do this by expanding the canvas and choosing black as the bg color. then crop to suit.
    The one problem I have here is there looks to be too much sharpening going on in PP.
    please do not edit and repost my photos
