"From my wineyard" is an nice addition into the Window Framed challenge. I have to say honestly as I was scrolling down the page to check the image and your comments, I have to say wow. I have never seen anyone this detailed, it is so lovely to see someone take the time to explain their details. We could all learn a lot from trying to detail our photos like this.
The image itself is a very nice piece. I think the first thing that hits me as a voter is the duotones. I think this was an excellent choice, I am glad to see you posted the other image as well. By choosing the duotones you achieved a different feel that let you stand out from all the other shots. The image is very nice and I like the fact you left the railing in the shot, we didn't see many like this. Great use of the window frame!
Nice view. I got to question making this duotone, was it really better that way? Think this could have been so great with a deep blue sky and green hills... Nice shot though, just my impression was that.
hi, thanks a lot :-)
do you mean something like this ?
i decided to ga against it coz colors were washed pretty bad and this one was the best i could pull out, so i stayed with the duotone/vintage look ... and of course the railings are really really hurting my eyes :-) ... but it's a view to the outside
Nice view. I got to question making this duotone, was it really better that way? Think this could have been so great with a deep blue sky and green hills... Nice shot though, just my impression was that.
Lucky you! Part of me wishes I could see the greens that must be here, but perhaps you used duotones to minimize something you didn't like? If it were mine, I might tweak the curves a bit to get more range of tone - and try a non-yellowy hue to make this gorgeous vista look more vibrant.
