...eyes..ears..

Another window, yes, and this one is for Anca (dada), as I promised her a while ago:)

I was drawn by unusual colours and especially the papers inside - one of the headlines says (in cyrillic) 'Theatre newspaper'. Enough flavor for me.

PP: you might not believe, as it looks (overtly) manipulated, but PP was minimal - crop,autoleveling, darkening the corners, clarify in Corel (just once), framing and resizing.

I will post a B&W version as WS, a bit more dramatic.

Hi Marija, natural pp was done for you, I like that newspaper showing through the open window, well seen

Alaettin

I like old windows like this, especially when the paint is peeling because I think it adds character. The composition is good, but I feel it could do with some 'breathing' space at the top and left side. Nice subdued colours.

I love it. Extrememly unusual and really beautiful. Nice composition.

Hi Maria
Good detail, love to see the newspaper, adds a extra dimension and caracter to this great portrait. Well seen I think I might prefer your B&W version but I'm not sure, to difficult to choose.... TFS

Dream on Dream OOOOOOOOooooooonnnn

...your heart♥

I can’t make up my mind on color or the wonderful BW treatment you did. It looks more like light sepia. Nevertheless, this is a Marija’s shot typical to your style and that is a great thing.

PS: Thank you for commenting on my latest pix. However, I feel like I forced you somehow. ;o)

Ben.

excellent, my dear, I am honoured:)))))))

believe me, I can't imagine how you find windows like this, it's so... unreal, even the little window open to the "theatre magazine", or the corner in right-down... what is it? the colours, the old frame... all! cannot be real. I suspect you made windows at home lol for have such subjects:))

kisses! love it!
anca

i love textures :)
well done on the composition maria :)
the straight on view is best here, good symetry and graphism

X :P

Super pendzer, dobra izolacija sa novinama. Svidja mi se boja starog zida i naravno pendzer. Majstorski nema sta.

Hi Marija, with the papers behind they look like old picture frames stuck to the outside of a building. Well spotted and caught, as usual you have opened my mind a bit further.
Thanks
Best wishes
Rob :))

pozdrav!
nemam rijeci za ovo remek djelo.
dopada mi se ova stara zgrada s ovako ukrasenim prozorom.
pozdrav!

Hi Marija,
Like an old woman which is not afraid to show its wrinkles and to tell its life, this window seems to make the same wink to the street and the passers by. Fine details and textures. Good observation! Well done! Annie

amazing!
somebody living in his own world of information not the world living outside his place. just a little breeze through the open window, inside - probably darkroom with information..

well seen, Marija! nicely composed! and all other things are just natural setting. so nothing more to add!
tfs,
laine

Hi Marija,

At first, window seemed me interesting. Now, when i am seeing with all ot those newspapers I think is genious.

Enric.

Just catching-up after being away for a week vacation. Very nicely done on this one, Marija, and I also like the B&W more dramatic version. Very good observation and it was great luck that one of the window was opened as I don't think the picture would have been as good without it. Excellent!

and most of all, open your heart!

superb Marija, excellent symbolism!!

For a different view!

Awesome Marija, Color tones are awesome indeed. LOVE IT

Ova fotografija me vraca puno godina unazad.
Cesto sam vidjao ovakve motive po nekim zabitim selima , bespucima...
Stare novine na prozorima koje tu stoje godinama...
Odlican photo , good story !
