Hi,

Does anyone have any advice for me on this picture?

Thank you for your time,

Is the house supposed to be white? If so try and take the color correct tool and click on the house to get it white. Right now it looks a little yellowy.

For fun you may want to crop off some of the left side of the image and only keep the windows and their reflection. That's really where the picture is-the white house behind the flowers destracts. Then you could try to clone ver the some of the window frame to eliminate the flowers that are covering the window frame. Then our eye would only see "the reflection". #2437363

Thanks for all your suggestions, Darleen!

I took this picture at the Dayton Art Museum. The building is stone, so no, it's not supposed to be white.

I think it would look kinda cool cropped from the window like you said!

Thanks again for taking time to comment,

I like this one. I like it how you got the flowers and the reflection all in one picture. Good job! #2455395

Hey Lue...this is great! I agree with Darleen though, it does need a crop.

this is a very nice idea. If you are using digital you might want to turn up the saturation a bit and sharpen a bit also #2635986

I really like this shot! Very pretty. The colors are really nice, and lot's texture to this. Also, nice comp. If it were me there is two things I might consider doing with it.
1. Sharpening the whole thing.
2. Cropping like was said, leaving just the window.

But either way, I don't think you can go wrong with this image. It's very creative, and pretty. Good work.

Thanks a lot for your comment, Rachel!
If I can, I'll try to include a cropped version of this in my comment box.

Larissa M. June 09, 2006

...sorry, I couldn't get it to work! I'll just upload the cropped version in my gallery.

I really like the cropped version, although this one is nice too. In the cropped version, I can enjoy the reflections even better. #2875707

Larissa M. June 09, 2006

Thanks a lot, Carol! Me, personaly, I also like the uncropped version best! ; )

I love this just the way it is! You have the reflection but also what made the reflection which to me makes it more interesting! I am sure the cropped version probably is good too, but this is what you saw and wanted to catch:-) #3036448

Larissa M. July 16, 2006

Thanks, Jill!
I think I'm more partial to this image then I am to the cropped one ; )

Darleen A. Stry July 17, 2006

I like the cropped version a little better because you really see the texture in the windows especially the left side.

The original is nice too but it just has a different mood. #3039392

Larissa M. July 17, 2006

Thank you, Darleen!
Your comments are always welcome! ; )

Larissa M. October 12, 2006

Thanks so much, Peggy! I've never been able to decide between this and the cropped version, as to which one I like better!

I REALLY like this picture. The rest of your galleries strike me as well as excellent use of technique and light but this one.... it conveys something really strong. The mood of the picture is superb, this is a DIFFERENT shot and I mean it in a positive way. Excellent! #3607181

Larissa M. November 20, 2006

Thanks so much for your lovely comment, Inaki!
It's very appreciated!!

Mitch Spence level-classic December 18, 2006

Lue, this picture truly engages me. It's very soft and gentle and I think reflects what you saw and what you wanted to capture at the time. I think if I were going to change anything, I might experiment with seeing what straightening the window would do and cropping only as much as that straightening would dictate and then perhaps using a mask to selectively sharpen at least some areas of the foreground flowers. Then again, you might find this still remains the best. It's quite beautiful. #3715557

Thanks so much for stopping by with a lovely comment and good suggestions, Mitch!!

Steve M. Harrington December 18, 2006

Lue, I agree with Mitch. I would rotate the image to make the right side of the window parallel.

Larissa M. December 18, 2006

Thanks for stopping by with a suggestion, Steve!!
When I get time, I'll try what you and Mitch have suggested.
