A picture with a story of contrast. Not difficult to imagine the message here:
As long as we still don't feel the destruction on our bodies, lets forget it and celebrate, who cares?... Great picture with some truth of life.

Beautiful but sad. Makes me appreciate my own living conditions and how lucky we are to have so much.
Great eye for texture and kudos on this capture! Love the crop! Thanks for sharing,
Dennis

Geometry, colors, details, sharpness is perfect. But I prefer to see this pic in a vertical format. Congrats.

My English is poor but my eyes are healthy. This is a square. Isn't?

It's 594x574 pixels. It's close to the dimensions of an "optical square". There's a certain point where a rectangle looks and appears to be a square. I thought it was square until I copied it to do some experiments on the image in PS, and was surprised to see that it wasn't.

I like this abstract Ulrich........well spotted and carefully composed. The repetition of rectangles is interesting how their bottom right corners create a diagonal across the frame. Nice green flaked paintwork too and that netting looks as old as the paintwork itself !
The tight crop condenses the textures, which I like, and the exposed wires adds to the general decay here........and then that piece of "joy" peeping out from behind the laced curtain reassures us that there is some life inside. Amazing how one can interpret an image !!
Interesting shot Ulrich, and the sharpness has enabled the viewer to gaze at the textures and colours for quite a while.......the yellowish-ochre blob seems to arrest my attention too. Well done and congrats on making the Main Page...............Regards......Steve.

People still live in those old and decayed building and try to give human touch for their "home". I like the contrast between the nice abstract ( created by the old wood and wall) and the lace curtain and the so "joy" object. Nice colours and texture in well done composition.

I don't find this flat whatsoever. I like the textures, the colours and the composition. It has wonderful colours. However, everyone's tastes are different :)
Nice work!

A strange contrast...the terribly decayed window frame and wall, with the lace curtain, but, also, poking into the scene these small, bright, gaudy tinsel sticks of 'Joy'. Ulrich, the window on its own depicts a fine abstract, your choice of capturing the little decorations gives one pause to reflect on who lives behind the curtain.....well done:)

As mentioned earlier, it does seem a little flat. I pulled it into PS to see what would happen. Saturation is almost at optimum right now. A little punches it some but not major. Pulling back brightness and bumping up contrast yields pretty good results, and texture really comes out then with more intense colors. Sharpness is pretty good right now, and adding more could give it more of a crispy look which make not work for some. While the lightness of the window pulls the effect down, as far as tonality goes, it does give a contrast in texture which is pretty nice. It's a nice eye catching work that's about a 2.5 TU. Some improvement can be made, but much of that may well be personal preference. Nice image!

Hi Ulrich. Highly creative of you to take the rotted edge of a window frame, and use that polarizer to capture the rich saturated colors embedded within. Extra-fine composition as well, balancing lots of interesting textures and lines into one very cohesive photo.....and it has a good abstract quality about it as well. Very well done with excellent focus and exposure. Kudos all the way around. Best Regards, Michael.

I really like the concept and the texture. A more tattered curtain and a faint shadow behind it would make it very interesting!

Technically an OK execution. Good sharpness, colours and contrast. However, the whole photo seems a bit flat. There are many different textures and one can tell that it's taken from a window frame. The stuff behind the window can't get me excited.

Everything here just works for me. This photo makes me want to reach out and touch the old wood and stone. And while the items inside the windows are well placed, I think that overall they take just a little away from the shot. Amazing textures, well done.

Hi Ulrich, so glad you didn't go for full diagonal and made sure there is no way for any crop -except the one from the right- to restore that option. It turns this one into something steady as a rock. Regards. Luc
