    I like #2 Linda. I might play with the crop to see what interesting perspectives you can come up with. I would also experiment with reducing the bright reflection off the side of the building.

    Nice shot thumb.gif

    Linda, I like #2. it's crisp and the repetition of the window panes really stand out. You may want to come in closer, although the people may become distracting.

    I really like your conversion of this. Nice work.

    When you come to a door... walk through it.
    If it's locked... find an open window.

    Like the subject, but the sepia isn't working for me personally. 4 & 5 look really good.

    I like "quirky". The name comes from the variety of old and new windows? The contrasts of the black and white parts as well as the windows are cool. and that little roof is so cute. It is quirky.

    #3 is the strongest comp for me, & I really like the tones for the subjectthumb.gif

    Im just curious how one of your "old looking" treatments on this image would fair in the judges eyes...headscratch.gif

    but really "as is" looks very nice imo.

    Thanks, everyone! Looks like the church shot is a no-go for the MC, then.

    For the curious, the others were all taken at Fonthill Mansion here in Doylestown, PA.

    I guess I still need to play around with these. Not sure I want to do one of my vintage treatments for these, Aaron. Yet. :D

    I'm photographing a re-enactment this afternoon so I'll have more to choose from later this afternoon. I'm just praying that the weather holds up.

    Hi Linda.

    I really like one and three.
    I do like the Church image a lot myself. I think it's cool how the trees frame the doors.
    1&3 just seem to fit the theme best.

    Hope all is well your family.

    peace,gail

    I really like this shot--Maybe a better title?

    Than out of the architecture shots, I like "Quirky", although again maybe another title.

    Thanks!

    headscratch.gifscratch A better title? How about "Industrious"

    I think I could rename "Quirky" to "Windows".

    But I still need to decide which photo to upload....rolleyes1.gif
