Windows

[bje07]

I found an interesting building with many window shapes, colors and reflections.
I cannot decide which is my best photo (or are my best photos) in this series
I need your help and comments.

# 1




# 2




# 3




# 4




# 5



# 5-2



# 6



# 6-2 as Mike suggested

What an assortment! My favourite is #2 because it is a simple illustration of not too many of them that confuses the mind whereas #2 you can look at the different views of each. I sort of not like the background of this shots though because it looks like bathroom tiles? (Sorry...)

Very cool series. I'm wondering what the overall building looks like, as it certainly seems unique in it's austerity, but with vibrant colors in the windows. #2 with the window blinds open and foilage is intriguing.

[FootLoose]

Interesting set, Jean. I think the 2nd nails the concept best - repetition with difference. And the first is the stronger of the rest.

[Mike Buckley]

Wonderful concept! I like the last one best because of how the green tones lead the eye in the scene. Consider cropping on the left to eliminate the wall that is perpendicular to the subject wall.

They are all good but I like #2 with the leafy frame.

Don't be sorry, the white part is made of white tiles of a kind of ceramic sandstone (I'm not expert in this matter), easy to stay in the same aspect for years in city pollution. (These shots were made in Paris).
Thank you for commenting.

Thank you Sharon

There are two buildings currently visible because the building next door was destroyed.
Here is a (non-artistic) picture of the situation



Then with the help of the transform tool you can get perfect rectangular windows shapes (if you are more in front of the buildings) .

Thanks Greg.
# 2 is a kind of close up.

Since all are very nice; it is difficult to select. Second has the specialty that it includes a nice reflection

Hi Jean,

I'm glad I assessed them all before reading the remainder of the thread, at least I know I arrived at my decision (#2) independently

I also like the vegetation that contrasts with the rest of the scene, something I feel wouldn't have worked so well had it been in more than the one window.


With the wider views - and perhaps this says more about me than the shots - I found myself trying to figure out which bits of various patterns were visible in all the other shots.

Cheers, Dave

Just to be different, #2 is the one I like least. I much prefer the wider view.

In terms of balance and harmony making for a strong composition, #5 is my pick from the set. However, with that one, I'd suggest shifting the histogram to the right so that the tiles appear as bright as they do in #2.

[Rent]

#2 definitely. For me, there's too much in the others.

Mondrian would be thinking..."wish ah'd bought a camera, 'stead of oils and an easel"...

it's a bit exaggerate to compare my modest pics to Mondrian paintings, but thank you for your comment

[DanK]

I also like #2 the best because of the interest provided by the reflection and the open blinds.

Great suggestion, thank you Mike I modified in version 6-2 more than suggested (I re create LHS in PS CC)(see above)
