Adobe and Pots, a photo from New Mexico, West

Photographer's Note

I took this picture one day in Taos, NM. Just liked the contrast of the adobe Wall and the sky as well a this row of pots on the blue shelf, even if the shelf color does not match the color of the sky!

Great colors, beautiful pots. The soft and round atmosphere is nicely broken by the color and the shape of the shelf with dark shadow. Very beautiful shot.

I like this shot too, the lines formed by the shelf and the walls are a very good lead across the image! The colors and lighitng are good. This would look good framed and hung in a Southwest decor.

Perfect colours, composition, light and focus.
Well done!

Very nice presentation of these beautiful pots against the smooth wall and smooth sky. I take it, this must be a sales presentation showing the products of the inhabitant of the house? In that case, I'll have the second one from the left with the gorgeous blue bird on it ;-))

Excellent detail shot with the repeated pattern of the bowls, their shadows and the great colors. Taos really has a unique atmosphere and light of its own and you've used both well.

Very imaginative shot. Nice colours and use of all the different angles.

Love your composition here Georg and the colours and shapes just sing for me. That strong shadow suggests a hot sunny day and complements the shapes really nicely. Well done!

I like the repetion of the sky blue in the shelf and also the shapes of the walls on the crests. I think you have chosen a fine angle. Hard sunlight like this is not easy. Well done! (I didn´t look on the geographic info and was guessing Greece)

I stay a long time in front of this beautiful pic. What I particularly like here is the sweet texture of the wall and it curves. A nice optical effect on the swhadow awake all the composition. Thank you.

Very nice and contrasting shot, I like the shadow the shelf makes on the wall and the soft colors on the pots.

Personnally, I would have crop the left side at the end of the shelf to avoid seeing the rising part of the wall.

It is a very representative photo of the south-west of the USA. Well seen.
