    Pink Curtain Call - From The Old House

    This one is from what was possibly a bedroom in the old house in Ballyvaughan Co. Clare.
    The colour scheme was really nice and different in each room.
    Would love your comments on this one too.
    Many thanks
    Tom

    Re: Pink Curtain Call - From The Old House

    Aaaargh I live with 2 women and hate pink.

    Its what I would do to a pink room LOL.

    Just concerned with the angles of the walls and ceilings in this photo, but then I'm not, but for the above reasons I like it.

    Hi OB,

    I think that has great potential. I am, however, distracted by the clutter on the right and the slight tilt in the horizontal, and the lens distortion. Can you re-shoot?

    Also, you may consider just calling it "Curtain Call".

    BR,

    Tom,

    Other than the horizontal factor pointed out, this shot is great! Love the colors and there is definately a great composition here. Well done,

    Jared

    This is a great picture. I know that the horizontal is a little off, but I don't know... If you straightened it, the curtains might look off. I guess because its kind of dark at the top, the angle doesn't bother me. The stuff on the right doesn't bother me either. I love the peeling paint and the light from the window. It's great IMO.

    Tom, I think this is a pretty neat photo. I like the color a LOT, and all of the different "torn apart" aspects here. The clutter doesn't bother me too much, because it adds to that effect. The only thing I would change, and this is a teeny tiny, personal nit pick...is to add a smidgen of room on the left side where that crack in the wall is. For some reason I really like that part of the photo.

    Thanks to you all. I take on board your comments on the verticals although considering the state of the place I was not too concerned by that aspect. I have actually got working on the transform tool and the verticals can be sorted out pretty well.
    The clutter was there and I would not interfere with it. it "Take only photographs, Leave only footprints".
