Good composition, nice feeling, meets challenge. Like the duotones.

Something Old

This is a picture of a picture. Several in this genre have been submitted for this challenge. I find the attempt to make it more than just a rendition of a picture, i.e. the medals, not successfully done.

Like the hand. Definitely something old here. Don't particularly care for the darks at the top and at the right.

Beautiful image. Enjoy looking at this and definitely will revisit lateron this week. Love the warm light of the image. It creates a nice intimacy and a real nostalgic longing for the good old past. Well, well done!

Het begeinenhuis! (or is begijnenhuis?). Oddly enough, this building looks so new on this picture!!! :) I know these places and I know the date is genuine and know also that they are really old and wonderful. So, it struck me as very funny. The only thing that really bothers me are the bits of the two windows on the right; would have cropped them out as it mars the composition. Ditto for the whie shape in the black overture of the gate. Daaaaag! :)

I'm happy for you with your excellent score. This is a fine picture and you have reason to be proud. I will tell you what happened to me on this picture. In my first complete round of voting this one was my top pick. I had given it a nine with the idea to make it a 10 when tweaking the vote. When I saw it again lateron in the week, I was really bothered by the lines on the building. It seemed as if the image had been oversharpened. I would like to hear from you whether that was the case. Then I turned the picture into an 8. Sorry :). Anyway, great picture!!! I do think the fence and the colors and the whole setting is just wonderful. My advice: shoot what feels right to YOU. As you well know, one gets a bunch of totally contradictory opinions. So what?!

Beautiful image; great composition and colors. Love how you cropped the fence; it gives wonderful rhythm to the image. Very peaceful and a delight to look at this image. Definitely will revisit this one lateron.

All the objects are standing up which makes the image rather static. Might have been a lot better if the boots had been lying down

I like the post processing that makes the trees in background go white. The problem with it though is that it makes the darks very dark without much definition.

Don't care for the post processing. Gives the image a flat greyish look and the shadows are muddy and unreal. Composition is too static as well. Sorry.
