My Window, a photo from Varna, East

Photographer's Note

This is the last picture from the mutual TE Project we did with "Aegean"... :-)
It is from the last theme of the project, "surprise", as here you can see the " Aegean" influence on me - deciding to post a window...:-)))

I saw this strange window in Balchik, on a wall that was the only thing remained from an old building. I liked the way that piece of blue sky was peeping through it and was looking as a nice match to the one above.
Hope you will enjoy it...:-)

Thank you, all of you friends, who reviewed all the pictures from our project and gave oppinions on them. Have a great and relaxing weekend! :-)

Beautiful shot. Almost a stil life. This little tree on the roof and the deep saturated sky are wonderful. I like it.

Hi Maria

I like the richly saturated, polarized, blue sky. Excellent sharpness & color. I like the scalloped red roof eaves, too.

Hi Maria another photo full of ligth from you, colors are superb and very deep, it seems the sky tried to imitate the window colors (or vice versa)

Spoony (3539) 2004-12-04 5:58

Idea was fine! Final result too. I don愒 know exactly why.. but I like this image.
Well seen Maria.

aznegrao (10316) 2004-12-04 8:54

A satura誽o do ceu em contraste com as belas texturas e o detalhe descentralizado da janela, criou um inpacto visual muito forte. Trabalho competente Maria, parabens.

Kenny10pin (19301) 2004-12-04 9:44

lovely shot here, I like the blue sky, but the building could be a bit sharper though

jrj (34843) 2004-12-04 10:25

Effectful, well made compo, simple yet well done. Details well presented. The project was interesting.

Rockyboy (20598) 2004-12-04 10:39

Yes, Maria... it's a very different shot from you here but also very nice. The blue color is wonderful behind the nice stone wall. Well seen!

Nice catch Maria. I love what George and you did..
This image is very nice. deep blue.
I wish a lot more membres of this huge family will start to do the same thing... Great.
Have a nice WE.

This mutual project has been a fun series, Maria, and it's nice to see you conclude it with this window shot (indeed a venture into new subject territory for you ;-). The textures of the cracked wall are well exposed, the blue areas of sky make a nice complement, and the minimalistic addition of vegetation gives a delightful extra touch. Nice one.

PLD_images (7149) 2004-12-04 22:08

Thank you and George so much for this wonderfull project Maria. I really enjoy watching this thing with all it's great photos.

Good shot with very nice colors that contrasts well with the grey of this wall. The composition of this photograph is so well done.

Thank you for all these shots and I hope to see another project like this one again soon.

Hanssie (11022) 2004-12-06 11:45

What a nice "dark" and full blue, my favourite colour...
I like the textures on the wall, the colours and the view to the blue, funny window!

bertolucci (14052) 2004-12-06 16:38

Hi Maria, I love the strong & well captured textures of this old wall. The contast between the grey/brow hues of it and the stark blue works very well here. The aysmmetric placement of the window is ofcourse a must. This is an elementary and very clever compo. Very good job.

bonsoir Maria, jolie fin de serie sur l'ancien , la simplicit� donne du charme � cette r嶧lisation, juste par cette ouverture un coin de ciel.
Amiti�/ Martine.

RGatward (20108) 2004-12-09 1:06

I agree, you seem to have some of George rub off on you for this one. Nice one to round off your interesting project.

kaychambers (1198) 2004-12-09 21:09

Hi Maria,

I find it difficult to find things wrong with that which you present on TE. Another sparkling entry here, complete with tree sprouting skywards, shows well saturated sky, below which we see the ruins interesting render in need of attention.

Well done,

Regards,

Vic, Singapore.

Very simple but effective Maria. I like it.

supereira (9576) 2004-12-12 11:51

Great shot.Very good colors and good contrast between them.I like the textures,light and sharpness.I like the conmtrast between the sky and the building.Well done!

kent_s (1911) 2004-12-14 6:42

OMG. I didn't know you lived in this poverty Maria I do hope it never rains in Varna. We have to start a fund race here so you can have a roof over your head:)

Back to the pic. Your right it's a great blue color on the other side. In my opinion you could have cropped it a little harder to emphasize the window more.

Well done Maria

Motrem (2392) 2004-12-29 18:49

Due to looking at the fault at this window, I eventually see the life in blue, what helps in these difficult days. Found well, composition simple but not so easy as that. Nice work.

� force de regarder au travers cette fen皻re, je finis par voir la vie en bleu, ce qui aide en ces jours difficiles. Bien trouv�, composition simple mais pas si facile que 蓷. Beau travail.

Happy New Year Maria...this is a metaphorical picture coming from a very sensible and compassionate member of the TE community. I like the color contrast too. Hapy New Year.

maphoto (8082) 2005-01-08 23:54

Very nice Maria, excellent composition, great contrast texture, the blue is wondeful, congratulation for this great view, well done.

antti (0) 2005-02-12 15:02

Yes, very strange view, Maria. There is so big contrast between that safety wall and very strange blue color. Feeling, don`t want to go there behind it. Don`t do it yourself either. Please, let us keep our thoughts on this side and in near future, I would like to see very daily postings in TE for to analize it. Waiting for your next load ?
