Inside the Windwill

Sitting on this one for a while. . .hmm
What do you think?

[LeeIs]

Don't sit on them anymore lol. that's what i think.

Very moody, great lighing. the stairs breaks what would've been a flatter shot. love how the light leeks from the bottom, it adds a nice little touch. I love all the wooden textures even though i wish there was some other texture to compliment it. That's nitpicking that was out of your control.

very nice!

[gahspidy]

I think you hit it on the head Liban about there being some other kind of texture in this to break it up or contrast against. I like alot about this shot, but that little something else is missing. I think it is another texture as you touched on. Thanks as always

[Overbeyond]

Excellent. It is very even all round and that slit of light from underneath the door works wonders. Fantastic detail, angles, shapes and textures all round and this invites prolonged and rewarding viewing.

[gahspidy]

Tom, thanks for the good review. I think it's ok but am starting to wonder if standing more to the right a bit would have given me a better view of the steps and brought in some more depth. . . There was so much other stuff around that I really had to isolate this little area of this scene, but I'm thinking i might have had a bit more room and leverage to get over right a bit more.

I like this a lot very moody but yet has a mysterious apeal to it. Thinking to myself wonder what it would look like in a sepia mild HDR proccess?

Gary - the angle from which you viewed the steps doesn't bother me at all - indeed, the horizontal beam seals off the left side very nicely. As the others have said, the chink of light is what makes it. Without it, it is nice but ordinary - but with it, it is very rewarding.

Cheers

i really like this photo actually... color flows very well with this old setting.

[natgaines]

The stairs lead your eyes right down to the little peak of light. I LOVE this shot! Fantastic. Yes, no more sitting indeed!

[GB1]

It has more positives than negatives Gary. Good work! I also like the bit of light coming through there (wish it was even bigger). The tonality is very similar here, necessary for this one I think, as contrast could wipe some areas out, but I do wish it wasn't quite that similar. Can't have everything.

Concerning what it is missing: where's the item lying on the floor in front of the door to make you wonder? A hat, pair of gloves, pry bar, key, 1/3 full sack (of gold?), ... something to spice it up and add a conversation point (or as purists say, a subject). Still nice as is..

I think its great...lots of great lines and angles, and texture. I think I would like to see it with a bit more contrast....

[gahspidy]

I'm happy to see that this is going over ok. Maybe there is hope for this one yet . . .
Yep, more contrast will certainly be there in a print.
Thanks all.

Gary I think it is fine as is. I agree the angle works well. I think it could use a little more color to bring out the textures in the wood but a very good image as is. I can almost hear the boards creeking as someone walks the stairs.

[jetrim]

what could I possibly add that hasn't already been said? Love this one for all the reasons already stated

[Frog]

Its all been said and I think GB1 has hit my only issue with an object to add a bit of mystery/spice. I was thinking of an old bucket.
