I love the contrast between the red shutters and the grey stones, as well as the variety of geometric patterns in the shutters and the stones. I also like how everything has a frame: the shutters are framed in white and each stone is framed with the mortar. I was a little bothered, though by the electrical wire hanging down. I did a workshop and cropped it out. The result is a little more abstract than the original. See what you think.

I like this composition really much. The colors and contrast are just great. But i have to agree with the last critique. The electrical wire is bad there. But i don't think cropping is the solution like the presented workshop cause i think the photo looses a bit of life with that cut. The only other thing that i don't like either is the fact that either on the right either on the left the white frames of the windows are cut!
But anyway the photo is really nice!

Très bien vu le cadrage positionnant ces fenêtres comme une croix, avec une symétrie intéressante. Le cadrage est très soigné, il suffit d'observer les deux fenêtres latérales. Les encadrements blancs font effectivement bien resortir les volets rouges. Ce qui est appréciable ici, c'est d'enfin constater que le plus grand angle n'a pas été utilisé (f/3.5), ce qui évite tout phénomène de distorsion au barillet (entre autres), habituellement vu et qui ne pardonne pas lorsque l'on photographie des fenêtres!! Très bon trvail donc, tant sur le plan créatif que technique. Bravo.

Great idea, and great colours. If you cut the bottom, shutters, which maybe you should or not, that is your choice, then he cropping must be symetrical, to convey the symmetry that I feel you want to convey with this pix.

The only thing that I do not understand it, if you have used the measure to level all the windows. Excuse me, I'm kidding. You must use the imagination to make pic like this. Simple but interesting.
