A bit of Colour

**stepheno** · 07-09-2006, 20:36

A house in Porec in Istra. Does it work? Any thoughts appreciated. TFL.

**Dabhand16** · 07-09-2006, 20:57

I think it does. I'd be tempted to clone out the structure above the gutter line, I find it a little distracting. The light is nice and even for a clear sky, what time of day was it taken, or was it in shadow?

Thanks for the feedback Graham. It was taken at about 4 in the afternoon.

Query, whats the square window like bit at the top?
I really like this though nice and clean bright and punchy, Congrats

It works for me!

You could enter this in the next Theme competition as it looks like "look up" is going to win!

That's the window into the roof - in warmer climates they don't have glass as the roof is used to store salamis, hams, fruit etc.

I like it, I like the warm colour of the wall as for the little window at the top it doesn't bother me.

My only crit nit picking really but maybe the blue of the sky could take a touch of saturation just bring it up a touch.

Ah thanks you see people strive for intelligence, normally when I get it I have no idea what to do with it.

Nice shot Stephen, simple effective composition and great colours

As soon as I saw yours I thought "square" and I'm not even sure why - maybe the roof curve that goes a little too far at the bottom? But I offer up this as a possibility

Have tried to keep your comp as much as possible (window tucked into corner - and rather like that roof window; a little touch of additional detail). Square aspect and rorated a little (and cloned in a little sky/wall at the corners!).

Increased the blue sats and darkened a touch

Thanks Markulous - appreciate your interest. I like your edit but....I do like the extra blue sky in mine
