[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Just to the north of the old part of Zurich there is a tiny park. It's on the top of a small hill and it gives a great vantage point over the houses around. Looking down on the roofs gives a very different perspective of the city.

I was particularly drawn to this building with its vibrant red dormer windows and the small chimney standing out from the grey tiled roof.

Nice coloured roof composition. Very interesting.

Hi Jonathan!
Interesting picture and nice colours!
I can imagine looking down from those windows -
some kind of a secret view :)
Regards,
Vesela

HI Jonathan
Joli vue sur ces lucarnes, belle composition
Toni

This image has a lot of humour (on purpose?), when I look I laugh. It is almost toy-like.
Nicely executed!

Hi Jonathan,
Nice point of view and colours
Have a good day
Cyril

Neat, very neat photo!
I like the composition and contrast of colors. The POV is interesting, gives the expression of some kind of toy house :)

Good job done, thanks for sharing!

Hello Jonathan! I very much like this shot! The home owner who did this must have an artistic flair! Well composed as it looks both like a roof, and like a miniature village. Great colour clarity, and good crop! Well done! Thank you!

A funny composition : this roof looks like a model or a toy house.
You chose the right dof !

Hi Jonathan. This is both an unusual and interesting photo. At first glance, it looks like small houses on a bed of pennies. Very unique. Great perspective. Thanks...

Jonathan ! Hi I found this photo on your side!
Great shot it looks like 4 small houses on the roof.
Good job

Nice shot presenting this roof details. It looks like three little houses and one tiny tower. Good POV and colours!
All the best!
Zeca

Hi Jonathan - this is really nice , the windows look like miniature houses built on an elaborately landscaped hillside, very nice scalloped patterns

Hi Jonathan,
I love the artistic result in here. The composition is very well suceeded, with a good placement of the three dormer windows and the chimney. I love the texture of the roof and the pattern from the tiles. The lighting is enhancing beautifully these effects.
