Challenge: Window View (Advanced Editing I)
Camera: Fujifilm FinePix S2 Pro
Location: Thailand
Date: Apr 8, 2004
Aperture: 8.0
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/30th
Date Uploaded: Apr 9, 2004

This is out the hotel room window where I am vacationing in Thailand.

One note: The tree on the right third line is slightly blurred. This is due to wind combined with the long exposure. I couldn't figure out how to get that sharp and still get the light on the inside of the window frame. Hopefully, a little help will come out in the comments.

Photoshop was levels, unsharp mask, hue and saturation, and a little help on highlights and shadows per the how to note somewhere on the site.

Took the shot late in the afternoon to catch the interesting light.

Since it was not mentioned in the comments, I will take a shot at it. Since you had the window up, moving a lamp a bit closer would have provided the light the frame needs to really stand out and not look so much like a border. Might have needed to set the exposure to the outside first, then turn the lamp on to keep the outside exposed properly. With some lamps something to drape over it (or bounce the light toward the frame) would be needed to keep the frame from blowing out.

Looking back at this shot makes me wish I was not so busy that week (I missed even looking through it, let alone voting).

GREETING FROM "happy world of criticism club by mehmet"

i trully love this picture. it seems like one of a kind..scenery is absolutely faboulus and even though i dont know the surrounding area this seems to be aperfect angle to capture such beauty. but the frame dont really feel like a window, it seems more like a frame created in post processing, so that is one downside that i see. other than that, i can hardly find anyhting else wrong with it, i didnthave a chance to vote on this challenge but i should have given it an 8 at least with confidence.. keep up the good work..

Wouldn't it be nice if everyone did see something this lovely out of their windows. Your picture is beautiful. To my eyes it looks a bit over saturated.
