Hi dear friends,

My entry for the theme.

Freedom…
Long way...
Reality for some...
Dream for others...
A light by the window...
And Hope is allowed…

PP work
Raw to Jpeg. Photo taken inside of a fortress in front of the Habana port, Cuba.
I used the wall like a tripod.

Have a peacefull weekend!

Hello Annie,

This really is perfect composition!
I love how the windows make arcs of receding light!
Very claustrophobic!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Annie
Great minimalist but strong capture as a participation to the window theme. I love this great perspective and the bichromatic approach a play of light and shadow

Bonjour Annie
Une magnifique perspective de ce couloir étroit. Le meurtrières étroites offrent un jeu d'ombre et de lumière du plus bel effet et une belle ambiance presque monochrome. Une superbe contribution pour le thème.
Amicalement
Antoine

after watching the thumbnails in friday's theme, 12 pics with this one catched my attention, for the good subject and the fine realisation

Hello Annie. Excellent perspective with the glow and shadow making the composition stunning. The windows are amazing too. Thanks for sharing and best regards. Jusni

Voir la lumière au bout du tunnel.
Des fois ce n'est, malheureusement pas, pour tout le monde.
Excellente capture.

Hi Annie,
Lovely image, meaningful in several levels. Freedom is reality for some, a dream for others. How true - especially for a place like Cuba. Image is very strong in the message. Dark tunnel, small open windows through which rays of light falls in. What a way to illustrate the power of a picture. Beautiful!

The light must really have been very low, Annie... 2" at only f/4... Still, the wall served you right, I see no motion blur whatsoever. I like the compo with the straight wall on the right and the curve on the left... Nice colour tones too.
TFS

Bonjour Annie

lumière au bout du corridor.Très bien vue et présenté avec de belles
paroles. Merci

Magnificent Annie. Well done.

Hi Annie,
Would this be a fortress where slaves would be arriving then? Or a prison?

It's a strong composition with the light streaming in from those "windows".

Hi Annie

Excellent use of diminishing linear perspective, with nice repetition provided by the stone windows. Good sharpness & framing. Tfs!

Bonjour Annie,
Bon choix de photo pour ce thème . Bonne idée également pour l'utilisation du mur . Cuba me fait rêver au soleil surtout qu'il se fait très discret depuis un mois .

Bonjour Annie, excellente idée pour le thème, bien vu et bien fait, bonne technique!

Mario

nice perspective composition Annie, simply warm and striking image, conveying a sense of drama.
regards...................andres

Excellent depth of field,

Excellent geometry and light-shadows play. Mysterious feeling. I don't know why, but it reminds me the novel 'The Name of the Rose' by Umberto Eco and that strange monastery.

TFS,
Andreea

Hello Annie

An interesting capture here with good light colour and shape, very suitable to the theme title this week too.

TFS and for taking the time to join in the theme

Greatly seen, Annie! Wonderful perspective!
...I choose the dream. :)
Best regards,

Hello Annie,
Fantastic POV and a great photo. I love the repetition of light reflexion on the walls and the strong light at the end (an epiphany?). Congrats for a great photo.

Hello Annie,
Nice scene, a "light in the windows" you captured.
Well composed shot, nice one!

Malik & Mary.

Hello Annie,

I like this!
Appealing simplicity and striking colour palette as the only variation comes from intensity of light...
Nice sense of depth and a well balanced composition!

Greetings,

Hi Annie,
A great picture with an excellent perspective. One point of critique though; the very bright area at the end is a tad too large in my opinion. The OE is not distractive, but it's the size which borders me. Anyway stil a fine posting Annie.
Hans

wonderful poetich photo!!!

This photo visualized many aspects of life
Tunnel vision
End of life we walk true a tunnel
At the end of the tunnel there is light (hope)
Good composition and light balance in this photo
And a lot of symbolic aspects

Hello Annie



Beautiful shot, I like this tunnel of beautiful windows
and of this very lukewarm atmosphere inside of him.
love the perspective! Beautiful image.

Congratulations my friend...

Sérgio

the light at the end of the tunnel, thoughtful presentation Annie. light is simply mystic. TFS

What a fatastic sureal window.i really like it...TFS
Amir

Pov is awesome as well as depth of field. Bravo!

TFS,
Kammi

This one has a unique feel to it.
At first glance it looks like it's sepia - but then it seems more like the actual colours at the scene..
In which case a nice monochromatic appeal to it.

Well done Annie.
Best regards, Daniel
