    Typical windows from an old building in the old Oporto downtown, also showing with pride the flag in support for our team in Euro2008 :D.

    Paulo,
    thank you!thumb.gif
    Technically, it's avalid entry, but since we are all trying to become better photogs, a few lines of C&C:
    1) Lighting sucks. Buildiong is too dark, sky is too bright.
    2) Angle is lame. It should be either bolder, or "dead on", at least from left-right perspective.
    3) Flag is a nice touch!

    I presume it was taking in the evening, try an early morning shoht with windows reflecting the sky/sun, and try to frame the sky out, leaving only the building face. You may wanna try to get farther back and use longer focal length.

    HTH

    tanks for the C&C, i'm still 'green' in photography rolleyes1.gif, but this forum is a great place to learn the technics and tips, and the assignments is a great way to pratice.
    I'll try to get a better shot of that building
    best regards

    Aloha,
    Thank you for the kind words. I wasn't really sure on how to post and didn't want to intrude upon someone Else's post.

    Regarding the image:
    If one looks carefully one can see through the house to a window beyond. In the color image that was quite prononced but got kinda lost in the transision to Black & white.

    Mahalo, Peter

    Found in an abondoned building near Seaport Village here in San Diego...

    It's the most interesting window I've found since I first saw this assignment, what with the layers of windows and the rigid geometry in front... at least to me!! :D

    Glass Ceiling
    536118969_TuVc3-L.jpg

    The ceiling of a green house near the building where I work, viewed through a window. There's a touch of reflection on the window and suggestions of clouds beyond the glass ceiling.

    Cheers,
    Gretchen
