Took my grandson's to see Colorado for the first time (for them).

I'll be posting more pics as I process them.


Here are some shots of a house that I'd love to hear all it's stories...

    Beautiful home. They just don't architect like that anymore :cry

    I'm drawn toward 1/3. The distant storm clouds and the state of the house echo each other. thumb.gif

    The daybed was a bit too lost in the grass to really grab me. The low angle on the fourth was an interesting choice, and I get it, but didn't work for me in the way the other two did.

    What part of CO were you in?

    Point taken: The daybed was included to be used as a lead-in for the house, not as a focal point. Probably should have shot this in landscape mode to allow proper framing.

    All shots but the last one I bent down to shoot. The forth shot, I'm simply standing down the hill.

    I do tend to like a lower than "human" perspective on shots. Gives it a little something different.

    This was in Gardner, CO. Between Walsenburg & Westcliff.


    I appreciate your detailed C&C.

    Randy,

    I like the PP treatment on this series. #3 is my favorite.....gives me a good sense of the scope of the land and I really like the play it gives to those striking clouds in the distance. Nice work.

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Thanks Tom,

    Yeah, I wish that I would have had the time to let the storm develop. But, as you know, your always chasing the sun on a trip.

    Thanks for the input.

    Hey Craig,

    Hope life is treating you well.


    I've passed this house many times on the way to our property, I finally took the time to stop & take a few shots.

    Thanks for your comments

    Beautiful photos and such an interesting place to explore. I too always wonder what stories a place like that could tell.

    Can't wait to see more :D

    We were only 15 minutes from our property & they were exited to see it. So it wasn't hard to tell them we had to get going...

    Jack,

    This house was right off the road, which is off the beaten track thumb.gif

    Meaning, way up in the mountains...
