Something about this house, makes me want to live in it. (Architecture II)by
banmornComment by Bear_Music: Distinctly an improvement on the original in terms of pure technique and composition, yes. But you know what? I look at the original and I actually *do* want to live in it; for all its imperfections that's a warm and inviting image.
This one, on the other hand, is cold and austere and doesn't even speak "house" to me; it speaks apartment, urban, conformity.
I think the image is well made, but only in the technical sense is it an improvement over the original for me.
It's my first vote in the challenge, and I am giving you a 6 for now. If I see a LOT of images that are "more faithful" to the intent of the original, I might rethink the 6 but I doubt that will happen.
Since this is my first comment, let me be clear on this: at least starting out in my voting, I am gonna try to see if it's even rational to vote this challenge based on doing a better job not only technically, but more importantly emotionally, in the sense of trying to better convey what the maker of the original was trying to convey.
Thanks for listening :-)
