I thought it to be interesting, what do you think?

I really like it and then mainly because the way my eyes are lead by the elements in this shot (railing, light) towards one of these strong points in a shot (1/3-1/3). I also like it that the incoming light leaves visible details on the floor. I don't think the tree is too distracting, I think the image would lose character without it. Also the shadows inside the cabin are nice deep black and you have kept enough details in the brighter areas outside (always difficult to get that right in a shot like this).

Well done pro ;)

Thanks for your time to comment, JoeD. glad you mentioned the tree as I wasn't quite certain how i felt about it but then liked the idea that it was the one vertical line in the shot that is not straight with the frame, giving the whole scene more character as you said.
The exposure came out as I had hoped it would, thus making my conversion to b&w much easier( channels mixer method )

I really like this hot - I love how the light plays on the floor inside the door. Beautiful! Great work.

Hey Gary,

You've done a good job as always... *smile* I love the contrast from the dark around the door to the light spilling in... My favorite part about this shot is that I feel like I've just discovered a door into a different world and I can only see so far into it, but I want to see more and it's very inviting. The lines in the picture really draw you up that path. I don't think I'd really change much of anything...in fact nothing... I like this picture just the way it is.

I love this gahspidy! 'Course I like old buildings and black and white photos. The stairs are wonderful! A lot of texture in them, and character. I also like how the railing has a tendency to lean (angle) in one direction while the building in the background is more or less viewed straight on, giving the photo almost a 2-tiered effect, if that makes sense.

Hey Betty,
Thanks for your analysis of the shot. I also like the lean of the railing . . I know what you mean.
I appreciate youl ooking . . . and glad you liked it.

I don't mind, always like looking at your photos, always very pleasing. Two-tiered is not the right phrase, there are obviously 2 tiers or levels, wish I could think of a word for it, I guess because they are at "odds" with one another it somehow has a nice effect. Poor turn of a phrase here.... It adds to the photo, whatever it is I am having trouble articulating!

there is a contrast between old and new, between symmetry and free-form, between black and white, between corners and curves, between angles and lines, between natural and man-made, between rough and smooth.

It's the contrasts that are appealing.

Personally, I wish the modern building wasn't there, but that's just my personal taste. It would be loverly if the steps led up to a sunlit meadow. I don't like how the building makes the space "busy". But of course you can't go knocking buildings down just to get the shot you want... or should I say, the shot *I* want... ;-)

It's a lovely photo, well done.

You are right, it is the contrasts, in angles, the buildings, the levels shown. Thanks Kelly!

Oh, and who says you can't go knocking buildings down just to get the shot you (I) want! LOL

I really love this- the positioning is so remarkable, and really places you in the cabin, rather than just looking outside from inside- it gives you a feel for your surroundings first, before drawing you outward.

Love it!
