The thing I find interesting here is the juxtaposition of bright framing element and darker subject image. Well imagined and captured. Light levels in shadow are good. Light levels in sunlight too. Not that easy. Well done.
OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy). I'll be picking one of these images for the Mu (most underrated) award:
Positives:Wonderful light and use of highlight and shadow - full of contrast and colour. The natural framing works brilliantly and the overall scene is charming. I'm particularly fond of the window top middle.
Critical stuff: Nothing at all
Overall: An excellent image - very pleased to make its acquaintance.
There is a story to this place that the title only suggests and the scene gives a mere glimpse of. Hope you left some notes for later describing what this place is.
