Anyone for Coffee?, a photo from Erongo, South

Photographer's Note

Swakopmund is known for its "coffee and cake" culture. Vistors from Windhoek always make a point of enjoying at least one visit to a local cafe. This cafe is one of my favorites - I love the vibrant colours and unusual decor. The coffee and cake is pretty good too!

Bonjour Resemary

Très belle image graphique. Un beau fouillis de couleurs fortes qui s'entrecroisent et se mélangent. J'aime beaucoup le bain transformé en banc.

Amicalement

Hello Rosemary

You're right, these coulours are very attractive.
This combination of orange and pink is audacious ;o)

The framing includes some interesting elements, but I think it could have been improved.
For example, the blue door would have deserved to have a more important part in your composition. The complementarity between blue and orange is always very striking.

I don't know if it was possible but if you took a step back to photograph this funny decor, you could have a better perspective and less distorted lines.

Just my impressions... but anyway, a great splash of colours !

Regards
Karine

Hi Rosemary again

A patchwork of vivid colors makes a splendid picture that I like. Maybe a step back would allow you to get more of the blue door and improve the contrast with the orange wall, and change the twisted perspective yo have.

Kind regards
CLODO

Hi Rosemary, I have recently come across your gallery and I just love your images of Turkey and Namibia.. Two countries I have yet to visit- although I originally come from SA.. At one stage, many years ago , I was due to do milatray service in Namibia- but things changed and I ened up in the Navy.. I now spend my free time taking images of this fascinating island called England..

So will be keen to follow your images and see somne of those lovely dunes.. Have a great day Rich

Bonjour,

Voici une photo que j'aime beaucoup, le contraste des couleurs, la composition et aussi un détournement d'objet pas commun !

Bonne journée et bonnes photos !
