The yellow "HD" sign is for hydrant, for the fire brigade.

The three fishes is the town symbol

Yes, the building could well be 500years old but more than likely it's been modified & extended beyond all recognition.

Although the lens on my cam is, well, er, 'poor' these buildings really are not straight.

I have another 3-4 shots but not of buildings so I'll post those at a later date.

Fire away - I can take it. :D

    I think #2 and #4 have a tad too much color. I probably like #3 the best but #1 works well too. I wish #3 had a small spot of brighter color.

    Interesting shots

    I knew, of course, that trees and plants had roots, stems, bark, branches and foliage that reached up toward the light. But I was coming to realize that the real magician was light itself.

    I think #3 is the best for the challenge.

    Adrian - I find #1 the most interesting and offer this suggestion. What if you treated it more abstractly? Don't shoot it as a building. Shoot it straight on and fill the frame with the structure (no chimney, no sky) and allow only a hint of the yellow HD sign to show on the right margin?

    Just a thought. ne_nau.gif

    Adrian,
    I'd say #1 is the most "grabbing". Maybe reshoot/reframe a bit?ne_nau.gif

    I see what you (& Angelo) are saying - a straight on pic would be better.

    That street is quite narrow, so a straight pic would be hard & I may not have time to reshoot this week. I'll try a tighter crop.

    Richard, I'd say from this set that one is also may fav., I wanted to boost the red in the tiles but considered that not to be in the spirit of this challenge.

    thanks for you thoughts.
