Oh, man, where was this shot for the 'Windows' assignment last month? Nice lines, colours, textures. Interesting composition. Could you have got the camera a little higher to drop that branch to, or below the window sill? I'm not saying that would be a better shot, but I would like to compare them.

Thanks for showing us.

Thanks for the feedback Jim.

That branch was literally three feet from the window. Couldn't go above it, below it or between it. It was tight to say the least

There's a lot to be said for having a chainsaw as part of your kit sometimes!

Wow, another beauty Stormfan! I love everything about it - beautifully composed, and there's so much in it. That would be fun to shoot in all 4 seasons - it's probably invisible in the summer!

I love pics like this stormfan. It doesn't take much imagination to visualise the history of this window and who has looked in and out of it. Like your chair too. You have a unique genre which I look forward to seeing more of. Thanks. PAUL

I love it. I always look at old buildings, old abandoned houses, and wonder what kind of stories they could tell if they could talk!
