Red Windows
Uploaded: February 02, 2005
I enhanced the photo with PSE, eliminating a branch behind the house and intensifing the colors, but the wild red on the windows was painted by someone, who apparently quit when he/she could reach no higher.

Terrific find and capture, Paul. It tells a mysterious story all its own. :) #211316Tammy Scott February 02, 2005
Great shot, Paul!!! I love the colors and composition! I enjoyed your description! #1078525Paul Smith February 02, 2005
Thanks, Paul and Tammy. I once wrote an article, "Ready, Set, Stop!" about stopping when driving past a photo op like this house with the red windows. I probably drove by this subject four ties before I put on the brakes, got out of the car and shot the scene. My point was that one has to program the mind to stop and not keep on driving as we tend to do--always in a hurry, right? Iam attaching a photo I shot from my car window, as there was no place on a narrow road to pull over and get out of the car. #1078684Paul Smith February 02, 2005

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
