Beautiful photo! Love the colours (how can you go wrong with warm orange tones). The greys of the stones/cement set of the oranges beautifully. To my eyes, the picture looks slightly "curved" to the top, as if the building weren't entirely straight (might be the bifocals); you couldn't get a tall ladder to stand on when taking the picture? Just kidding. So, they use plastic shopping bags there also? ~9

1910 Hand Colored Postcard

From the Critique Club

Hello, Richard,

I am so glad I get to look at your postcard again, in detail. It's a lovely postcard. I don't see anything wrong with the photo. The only thing I need to say (again, I guess) is that the green text to the top left seems out of place. I think that if it wouldn't have been for that green text, this would have been a lot of people's favourite postcard.

The colouration, the framing, the composition, everything (except the green text) is just right. I like the little bit of grey/blue sky shadowed by the brook at the bottom. I love the hill line, the juicy green grass by the brook, the shininess of the water as it comes around the corner.

I thought for a moment that a "raggedy" edge would make this look more like an old hand-coloured postcard. But then, you were creating an old postcard, and, when new, they wouldn't have had a raggedy edge.

Anyway. Congratulations on an excellent entry! By the way, you have quite an eclectic collection of photos in your portfolio. Nice.

Ice cream hut? I never would have thought of painting one shades of green. Very nice photo, clear, attractive, good colours. I like the little rounded corner on the black frame. ~10

Is that the stem on the back of a daffodil? Beautiful how you caught the little green worlds in the raindrops. Very nice. ~9

Beautiful sunset, but the picture needs to be bigger for us to appreciate it. ~7

You eat pickles with your wine? I've never tried that. I like this picture, it's "comfortable", and the unusual border actually works here. ~8

Aren't "Taschen" pockets? How come all these books are called Taschen? Are they pocket-books? Nice picture, btw.
