Very nice and well captured detail, Isabelle. Texture and light are excellent, I like those diagonals.

Magnifique !

Pour info, ceci s'appelle un raccard (quand c'est sur pilotis)... c'était pour empêcher les rongeurs d'atteindre le grain.

The texture of the wood - especially the ends - is brillant. I like the way we can clearly see the joints. Thank you for sharing it.

The texture of the wood, yes.. but also the great light on it, makes it alive, I would want to reach out and touch it just to feel the great warmth of this old wood bathed by the sun. Very, very nice and well done.

Very nice "wooden" shot. I like details, wooden structure, diagonals and "game of light and shadows". very well framed. Excellent picture.

Reminds me of Easter. Why? Because then I'm used to go skiing in the mountains, and we always take a break at the wooden houses like this. We could do it earlier in the winther also, but in the Easter the sun is getting higher on the sky, and we really feel the sun... and then the wooden wall get as dry as here.

Great shoot, great angel, texture and composition.

I love those chalets". Those pioeces of wood are beautiful structures..
The details are sometime very nice.

A beautiful picture Isabelle. I like the texture and the composition and the light. And it speaks resistance!

I've seen these barns, especially in Zermatt, standing on piles of rock, and couldn't quite understand why. To level them or to keep the rodents away? I think we have a similarity in parts of mid and northern Sweden, but I'm not sure.

Avec un peu plus de soleil en haut coté droit on aurais eu la simétrie parfaite avec un coté l'ombre et l'autre le soleil !
Encore une fois bien vu et surtout très immortalisé.

J'aime bien les détails du bois, la façon dont la structure est érigée. L'éclairage sur le coin est très bon. Bien vu!

Voici une photo qui est du même genre : http://www.trekearth.com/gallery/Europe/Switzerland/photo15652.htm

Very shrp shot .. the framing is great ,the color is very natural .. the idea is great .. well done

A very well chosen angle Isabelle. And the corner is just as we do them too.
I think the detail you describe with a flat rock on a pile as supports has a practical function. The flat rock is a safeguard against rats and mice, the can´t climb up and down.

Encore un jeu avec les lignes de la part d'Isabelle! Comment dois je commenter cette photo... moi qui ne suis pas spécialiste des effets d'abstraction. Ici, ces lignes formées par les planches et les ombres qui se réunissent en se croisant me donne un sentiment d'agression et je ne sais pas trop dire pourquoi... En tout cas, c'est bien vu et bien composé!

martin (1242) 2004-01-12 15:11

This captures not only the texture of the wood but also the simplicity and strength of the barn's construction.

pascalbene (1730) 2004-01-12 15:15

Hello Isabelle. Cette photo réveille en moi des images très précises de mon enfance (de l'autre côté du lac). Parfaitement réalisé. Rien à dire (c'est-à-dire beaucoup à dire... que des bonnes choses). Merci.

nwoehnl (120) 2004-01-12 15:23

Yes, this one is excellent. For all the reasons everybody else already listed - to me, the outstanding thing is really how crisp and brilliant the texture of the wood looks. Nicely composed, with the corner of the barn right of the center of your image. A remarkable result, Isabelle.

mogens-j (56) 2004-01-12 15:24

You have done it again Isabelle. Like the doors so simpel and strong. Wonderful job.

Porteplume (3257) 2004-01-12 16:29

Great play of material, textures, shapes, colours and light... And still with all those elements, a very simple and elegant image.
Well observed and executed!

Mrg (823) 2004-01-12 17:12

A textura nesta imagem está simplesmente fantástica.Mostra realmente todos os pormenores do material.Muitos parabéns

emax (893) 2004-01-13 17:12

This wooden element its perfect too. Marvelous light and sharpness (maybe even too much) makes this composition very attractive. I classify this pic to art the division, what its proved your sense for the art.

claudiaf (4406) 2004-01-22 14:02

Very good detail. Excellent composition. Love the texture

Albrecht (11219) 2005-09-02 5:32

Hi Louy
Well known detail for me, but to see it again because I have bee therealso; this sharp and close is OK. Good picture.
Regards Albrecht

Isabelle,
Tres belle image .. si ca ne te deranges pas je vais critiquer en anglais.. (c plu sfacile pour moi..lol)
Very nice patern composition (left is cold / right is warm ). Nicely unsharped.
my only critic would be mabe the white outline around the frame, I think it brings out too many highlights out of the image.

Well done otherwise.
Merci d'avoir partager.

Stephane
