A good idea of your friend. The sharpness is perfect and the color are wonderful. The cropping is maybe too short at the left.

Great to see that you are reposting some of your best ones, Peter. And this certainly fell into that category. The sky is absolutely stunning which makes the house almost look 3rd dimensional. Well done and I hope you are feeling better!

The white house still in the sun and dark sky in the background. Nothing is placed following the rules in art and photography (g. selection). The photo must be strong to break this rule. But this photo is strong and breaks the rule

Nice to see this great photo returned. As before I admire this one a lot. Everything is so professional. I like the mood created by the lighting conditions of the day. Lovely Peter.

Very nice Peter. That sky looks daunting and gives a great effect enhancing the building. Great composition also. Nice capture.

I thought I'd seen this beauty before. All I can say is, if they ever do a book of TL photos, this one goes on the cover. That's all. And the composition is extraordinary, simply a grand shot, Peter.

Happy to see this one again and always the same pleasure for the light, the strait lines and the empty space giving to this well placed house a great value.
Beautiful.

What a peaceful place. The dark sky contrasting with the white house is great. The sky looks quite ominous. Well captured.

The contrast between the white walls and the black of the trim of the house against the dark threatening sky sets a moody, disquieting atmosphere. Great shot, Peter.

Wow, absolutely superb composition and I like the contrast of the moody dark sky and the white house. Is there a sea nearby by any chance? where was it photographed?

Very nice Peter!
The house contrasts very well with the 'gloomy' sky.
Very well done :)

Hi Peter.
Couldn't find your "church-interior". You probably never posted it.
Looking for it, I saw this dramatic shot.
I like the way the house is reflecting against the dark and threatening sky.
I'm glad I found it.
Groet,
Joop.

What a stunning contrast, The compostion is simple but very effective in this case. the bed and breakfast is very vivid especially against those storm clouds. Did you need to do any P.P. work to bring out the colours in this shot ?

•  
• Biance- (165)
• [2006-06-21 23:57]

What a gorgeous structure, I love the way the white stands out against the stormy sky! What's even better yet is how the white is outlined not only by the blue sky, but also with the black trimmings around the building. Really great job on a still focus, I think this is a lovely photo.

This place must cost an arm and a leg!

Biance.

Hello Peter, Great work, well composed and good contrast effect - saw this on the front page of TL this morning, wondered how I haven't seen your stuff before. That's one of the things I like about TL always new things to discover :-) Lesley

hellopeter,
i didn't see this before but it was one of three pictures on your intro page. I am pleased it was there as it is excellent. Lovely white house against an inky storm sky and you have filled the frame withe that sky. A good choice. But you have intriqued me now as I am wondering what your copious notes were all about!

Hi peter,

Very nice 'before-storm' photo. I like this lighting of sky before storm very much. Also you've selected a good angle for showing darkness of sky and also ray of light of other side.

Nasra.
