Staires with a view

I like the darkness leading into the light although it was a PIA getting the PP right

Took me a second or two to work out PIA. I like the darkness too of the shot and the view

I was thinking the same thing as Stan as I was looking at it.

I'm with the "too much, too dark" camp I'm afraid

Re: Staires with a view

thanks Bo.. we are look for different things within an image, I quite like the idea of coming out of darkness into bright light

Agreed. But when my eye dismisses 40% of the picture because it's giving me nothing I look to what is inside the light to be exceptional. And in this case it doesn't seem so to me.

Full marks for the processing - as ever with Mr Goth- but the composition lets it down for me. sorry!

Re: Staires with a view

I must have a dark side like you Ian, like it as it is. You did well with the windows, just verging on too much blown out

Re: Staires with a view

cheers Alan - I really didn't think this would be such a marmite photo...

Re: Staires with a view

I'm happy with using the darkness to direct the viewer to the window as that's the effect I was seeking with my recent chicken coop. My only issue is that the darkness isn't balanced and I'd have liked to see the same level of honey-coloured detail given to the left also applied to the right hand side.

Cheers,
John
