A scooter, a door and a window... Photo

Photographer’s Note

A scooter...a door and a window...Common objects in our daily urban life...We see them, pass them, use them tens of times every day without even think about it...
But when all these are combined with a colorful wall the result create a nice composition worth the effort to make a photo...
Somewhere in the back streets of Plaka, the old part of Athens...

Scooters are always a romantic thing to shot. And this one specially with its electriuc blue contrasting with the yellow on th ewall. I guess the composition is made a little difficult by the slanting door and window but I like this.

Love the tilt of the door and the window. It gives the photo a touch of reality.

Audacious composition. Why tilting the house and not the street ?

I like very much the red wooden framing with the yellow wall. But I'm not sure about the blue partly merged with the red door. I feel that pushing the scooter on the right (Hahaha, I can imagine the owner looking at you) could have made the scene more balanced and easier to read.

It is hard to say if it is an old scooter or an old-loke design of a new one. Amazing contrastic colors and a nice shape on the smaller window. I think that you had to fix the lens distortion.
Anyway, a very nice and colorful clasic shot, George.

BTW - Cheers Athens, for the great olymoic games - happy, safe, well arranged, and peacefull. Thanks.

Beutiful composition and stunning colors. Pictures like this make my nostalgia for my Greece grow more.

bonus in the pic, part of the Athens olympics logo used as a curtain.

As texturas e a nitidez são impressionantes. O enquadramento do chão não deixa duvidas quanto a janela e a porta inclinada, o que por sinal da um aspecto inusitado a imagem. A combinação de cores esta muito bonita. Saudações George.
