The old curiosity shop Photo

Photographer’s Note

The antique and curio shop in the mainstreet of Balingup about 60kms south of Bunbury. A town well known for it's annual scarecrow festival, bit hard to pick the locals from the scarecrows some days!!

Thought I'd sepia the image to age it and make it more fitting for the age of the building

Another marvel from you John. So dated and so soothingly compsoed with lovely sharpness and a lovely ambience

Hi John,
With respect to Aadil, I think I'd rather have seen this in colour. I suppose it all depends on the sky, was it washed out grey or blue. Good fine detail, it's as sharp as on my monitor.
I'll bet there are some treasures in there, read junk.
Regards
Peter

It reminds me so much of 'Little House on the Prairie', but I guess pioneer US and pioneer Australia have similarites. For that reason sepia was a great choice. Good tight framing works well and the sharpness and clarity are spot on.
