Hey, John, I like your 'about' note. This one makes me feel that I need to spend more time recognizing the potential of scenes like this. I probably would have walked right by this wall, deep in thought about something irrelevant. Bev has nailed it, those conflicting textures add depth. 'Life as a metaphor'.
I think this is my favorite of yours so far John. The Ivy has an almost peditory quality to it, the way the tindrels are creeping over and consuming the window. I especially like the conflicting textures of smooth glass, rough boards and soft leaves. Really love this one.
Hi. Yes it is a second story window and is shot from below, and no it was not adjusted in PhotoShop. The long lens tends to flatten perspective. Also, because I lined up the frame of the image with the frame of the wimdow and not with the horizontal lines of the boards, and due to the extensive coverage of the ivy, it sort of obscures the paralax.
The window is secondary in the image and what I wanted to convey. The ivy is reclaiming the space. The window is the supporting element. Thus the title "Ivy" rather than, say, "window wiyh Ivy" Tahnks, I'm glad that I conveyed what I was hoping.
