nothing a lick of paint would sort out

love the texture of the paint

Yeah, I liked the look...found it 'appealing'. (Hey, I've had to read your jokes, so you've gotta suffer through mine now!)

You can actually see knotholes through the missing paint.

Oooo, nicely done Anty.

The reflection of the evergreens (?) in the glass panes adds another layer of texture. Also like the dead leaf amongst the new growth at the top of the plant.

Like the image - I never knew you were a closet double glazing salesperson!

 

[abraxas]

Nice. I like the reflections.

A classic shot Anti! Love it. The flower is positioned perfectly within the window frame. Awesome. :thumbup:

Well done !

 

[Antarctican]

Wow, thanks everyone for your comments!

 

[Puscas]

nice, but somehow I think you could emphasize the texture more. Maybe a bit more contrast...maybe color? dunno, I feel it's not at its full potential.

^^^ Is this better? (before and after)

This is my take on it. Hope you don't mind Anti. If you want me to remove it, I will.

I felt that the peeling paint and old look of the windows could be a bit more pronounced. So, what I did was defogged the image with unsharp mask at 40, 60, 1. Then boosted the overall saturation to +30, and sharpened at 150, 0.3, 0. But I also think the original is quite good.

It's never a problem to edit my shots! Thanks so much for the info on what you did, as that helps me learn :thumbup:
