Colonial Stockbridge

[chrisnesss]

This is a photo of a trip to Stockbridge MA. The towns center for one weekend, is transformed back to the time when Norman Rockwell called the small New England town home.

Gorgeous shot, imo.

Thank you.

Looks like a Rockwell. Well done, a real keeper.

I think this is a good subject and i like your composition with centering it here and framed in with the trees. I have to say that for me this is too contrasty and a bit over the top in post processing. I do like it overall, but just seems too overdone for my taste.
thanks for posting and definetely good work.

I love the starkness of this photo, and the duotone effect works really well here. well done.

First of all , welcome to the forums.

Second, nice shot. It is definitely a keeper and I like the application of the effect to create the vintage look.

The only part that I would prefer to be different here is for the house itself to be sharper. The rest of the photo - the sky, the trees, and to a lesser extent the snow - look great being soft. Time to try a variant?

Welcome again.

Thanks again for the input.

I've come back to this several times trying to decide if I like it or not.
One time it seems over done and the next time it doesn't.

I think you got exactly what you wanted and the rest is a matter of taste.

I really like it. I keep thinking that odd post, the one that is in front of the rest, and aligned with the row of windows to the far left is a little girl in a white dress...

Thank you Frog, and you're right-I did exactly what I wanted out of this shot.

Welcome to the forum!

Lovely shot. I really like this image. I'm familiar with the building and area as I visit Stockbridge a few times a year - one of my favorite places. I have a few "snaps" of the building, but nothing as classic as this image.

IMO your photo captures the spirit of Stockbridge.

Thank you Liz.

Very nice job on the composition and conversion. Processing is pushing the limits, but I don't think you've gone overboard.
