Hello Phil
This facade, with its various shaped windows and elegant doorway, is interesting to look at, as is the old blue cart. I think, however that it is the orange colour of the lichen growing on the stone mullions which really gives this image its impact - that and the intense light.
Beautiful!
Best wishes Maggie

Hello Phil,

Beautiful my friend. The composition, the POV and the colours are just and outright beautiful. Interesting subject and a dramatic use of wide angle that works a treat.

Best regards
Filipe

Hello Phil,

Some powerful colours here, and strong contrasts produced by the low sunlight.

It took me a little time to realise it, but some distortion has crept into the image, causing the wheels of the cart to become oval.

Was this taken with a very wide angle lens?

All the strong elements in the composition - the cart, windows, the door and the edges of the roof tiles, are close to the edges of the picture.

As a result there is rather a lot of blank wall in the centre.

Somehow, I don't find the composition entirely satisfactory, but that's just my take on it!

I think the TL picture is much better.

Regards,

Peter.
