Heh! I like the fact you like it for sentimental reasons more anyway!

...and while I'm poking around in your photos, I have to gotta say I really like this one as well(for aestetic reasons this time). Very artsy with cool looking tones. Very nice!

I didn't get a chance to comment on this during the challenge, so I'm so glad it was brought back to my attention. I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed this photograph, not as much for aesthetic reasons as sentimental ones.

It reminds me so much from when I was I child and we would go to visit my great-grandmother in Germany. She would always be at her street-front window chatting with one neighbor or another when we arrived. Before she got too old, she would bake big sheets of potato cakes and pass them out to everybody. She was a real character...thanks for the flashback!

Really, really nice. I like the straight lines and the cobbled surface... a great complement. The cross-processing effect works really nicely.

Beautiful. In some thread you recently said something about your history of scientific training (sorry for the paraphrasing, or if I blundered completely). Many of your photos hint at that for me, with the regularlity of patterns offset by something inherently random and unique, like the trunk and branches against the wall here, or the interesting shapes at bottom framed by the brown swath from which the natural shapes ascend. Also your formal cropping choices bring this home for me, here, as well as in your recent free study entry. There's a real beauty hinted at in your understanding of patterns both regular and natural. Nice work.

I really love the regularity of the composition (all the lines and geometry) offset by the beautiful shingling above and the unique drapes, and of course the central human figure. I agree that it has a charming European quality, and is lovely to look at for a while.

GREAT shot. I sat and stared at this for a while. It has such an old German feel to it. Maybe it's the architecture. Congrats on a nice score.
