The Wife loves this one but she's biased. What say you? C&C if you please.

Killing time after class one day I went for a drive. This is what caught my eye. Thanks for any input. The wife liked it but I don't trust her eye. LOL

Nope, she's right... Love it too.

Would like to have seen it taken from a slightly different angle (closer to the ground looking up), but it's pretty good as it is.

What was the subject exactly? the window, the plant? its an ok pic, but it doesnt do much for me.

My thoughts exactly. I have another one I'll put up soon. I think it does the subject better. Standby. Thanks for the input biggoron.

not to say it couldn't be a good shot but as is it's not. Sorry but it lacks bigtime.

The subject is in the center of the frame, assuming the window is the subject, has strange color cast (WB off) and nothing 'pops'. I'd take a look at shifting your perspective left so the window is in the right and that other window in the left.

Adjust WB, color enhance (or B&W!!!) and I think you'll like it.

Yeah I effed with the WB on this one for a while then I realized that the window frame is actually the blue color you see. I was able to get a better color in my other edit but it is still "blueish".

Here's another shot of the same window. I like it much better. Still not my favorite shot but I think it does this "subject" more justice.

+1 i havn't got a clue what the subject is

biggoron · Nov 14, 2011

second shot is better imo... the first shot, my eyes were drawn to the red and green in the top left. the second pic makes me look right at the subject

biggoron · Nov 14, 2011

and is there someone living in the house? they might not like you taking pics of their bedroom. hahaha

flameshots · Nov 14, 2011

Yeah, no one is living there. LOL It's very abandoned. The vine is actually poison ivy. It grows in and all over this building. Thanks for the input.

Marc.

I like.

A subtle appearance or an outline of a crazy-looking lady peeking out from within that second window my have been nice too.

Vtec44 · Nov 14, 2011

I like it, the 2nd one. It's like looking into a haunted house. The over grown vines added a bit of a story to it = the house has been abandoned for whatever reason for a while. Maybe it's a good reason and should stay that way? What's inside is look right at you, through the dark window. Maybe it's a good thing that the vines are there... to keep what's inside in and outside out?

A bit of post process work and I think you have a keeper.

The first one doesn't do anything for me and the second one is a little better. I think I would have liked to see the whole window or more. I think that would help tell the rest of the story that you explained in your post.
