Beautiful image! Says "Come rght in, don't knock". Now I wish I had given it a 10 instead of a 9. I was sure it would place even higher than it did.

Indi, this is beautiful. I love the feel, the colors, the time and place it brings me to.

I'm only going to repeat what has been said many times already ... the colours are superb! A great, simple image that grabs the viewers attention.

What a wonderful straightforward photo of simple things! Colours and tones, alone, would have made for a satisfying study. The three planes of washed reds, blues and black make for a natural compositional element, well taken advantage of.

I do question the need to include as much of the red wall, bench and rail (on the left) as has been done here. A somewhat tighter crop here (or a slight shift of the whole image to the left), IMO, would have excluded any reduncy while aligning the groove between threshhold and steps with the corner at bottom right.

The image appears to have been aligned along the crack between door frame (blue) and siding (red). Yet the dark vertical space between frame and door is a little top-heavy (right tilt), probably due to both the aging structure (of the house) and/or barrel distortion. If the discrepancy between the two measures were balanced out, I believe, the overall perception would be one of proper and natural alignment. ??

Despite these minor considerations, a quietly unassuming photo of considerably beauty.

Great colors.

I sure don't long to go back to using brooms like that... I would never get rid of all the dirt! I like the simplicity of the composition and the open door.

Good capture, good colors.

Simple it is, but the colors work great.
Nice scene, good composition. 9

Something about those colors makes me think America. And that broom makes me think Salem. For me, that's a bit contrasting and I like it.

Nicely composed shot. The focus and use of frame are quite good. Fits the challenge well.

Very nice colors. And simple (but effective) setup.

Beautiful and clear. Great colors, compostion, simplicity

Interesting Photo. I liked it.

I really like this, and have to believe that the nostalgia is for a simpler life and the richness of the colors and the twigs in the broom (cinnamon?) are very nice

my great grandmother used to make her brooms. I remember that!
09/10/2003 02:25:38 PM
Great use of colors and I like the theme.
09/10/2003 02:23:17 PM
Like I had by grandparents. A broom was like a fastener, when nobody was at home. My favorite picture!
09/10/2003 12:04:30 PM
nice composition

Super mix of colors and light. The subject is wonderful as is the composition. Bravo.
