A theme "DOORS"

[vipgraphx]

Let me start off by explaining this theme. We just remolded our home and painted our interior walls , Pumpkin, Yellow Squash and Peanut Butter. Different walls have the various colors. Trying to go for a spanish theme.

Our older paintings and pictures just did not match our color choices. I knew of a neighbor hood that was in the historical part of the city and the houses are all painted Bright colors with very interesting door choices. I have always found doors to be interesting so I set off to do a theme.

Hope you like

the last one looks like a door in santa fe.

I find them a bit too colorful. Need to find some sunglasses

hahahahahaha

yeah the doors were already and buildings were already bright colors and I added more saturation to them to bring it out even more. I know when they print it will not be as bright (lesson learned). I wanted them to be bright colors so they will have strong contrast on the interior walls. Maybe I will put some sunglasses at each picture so when we have company....hahahaha:lmao:

glad you have a sense of humor, i was worried you might think i was rude and mean *(which I have been called in the past)

A bit over cooked for my tastes. Great theme though.

If you were going for the "painterly" look, then you certainly succeeded. I do like how much the colors "pop", but personally I would have used the highlight smoothing (assuming you used software with that feature included) a bit more to clean up each shot a little bit. I can be the first to tell you that I love the effect multiple exposures and tone mapping can have on a composition, but I think that you would have benefited in waiting until the light was a bit less harsh in most of these (just some food for thought). I'm also not sure how much I like that #3 and #8 are shot at a slight angle, just my own opinion. On a different note, #2 would look awesome in B&W with a little dramatic lighting creeping from inside the home (again just food for thought). Overall in my opinion, good theme, nice subjects, good color, and good work.

Yes I was going for that painterly feel you hit on the nail. At least I know I was on the right track. I think I will use 1,2,6 and 8 for our home. i have had a few people ask to purchase some of these prints. In Tucson AZ many of the older folks appreciate the historical homes and crazy colors. These homes are in a historical part of our city and I guess its a love hate thing.
