Blue Shutters Photo

Photographer’s Note

Plenty of peeling paint and rust, but I am unsure wether I should crop tighter or not as I would lose the texture on the wall.

Very nice colors and beautiful subject.
Especially I like the two turned chips (they break the symmetry) in the left shutter and the flaws on the wall.

I like it as it is. The cracked wall adds personality to this shot. I don't know if this is due to the focal length but I find the window/shutter very flat... It looks as if it has never been opened. And, the colours are great.

colors seem a bit muted, that and the lighting make the shot look very flat. Nice subject, but you haven't done anything new with it. Seems like it needs a tad bit of a straighten.

Ahhhh... That Cyprus blue... Except that there is a lot brown there as well. The sea and sky however are the bluest...
A very nice mood photo... The cracks and the white patch really make it as such..

Have just come across this shot Alan. The subtlety of the colour is superb, the detail is good too.

The crop is fine, alot of different ones would have worked equally well.
