[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Scanned a photo taken in 1982, I converted to sepia as the colors were just too washed out and framed.

While on our trip to Portugal we visited the Island of Madeira, which to me was one of the most beautiful offering so many different sceneries. From rugged mountains, to cliffs overlooking the sea,
mountain sides turned into stairs to do gardening.
Little houses surrounded by excotic flowers.
There were also little round houses, that I will post another time.

hi Dot

Very interesting photo in sepia.

Because of the triangle shapes of these houses and they are spaced apart nicely at interval, I played around with rotation for fun, 90, 180, 270, 360 degrees and get a kick out of the graphic changes.

Nice scan effect because it is fitting for 1982 style.

tfs, bill

Hi Dot,

those houses looks pretty unique and original..I like the choice of sepia color, (like a trip in the memory)... this is very creative presentation with a very interesting frame really suitable for this photo..

compliments and regards
suzy

Hi Dot,
I like the old photo effect. It’s is also nicely composed and very interesting. Are those fishing poles leaning against the houses?
Regards,
Matt

Hello Dot
I didn't see this one before - I've been a little more busy with less time to TL.
Wonderful photo of houses of «Santana» village, in Madeira, very well composed with a delicious sepia presentation, and the great work with the frame remembering the old photo albums of film. Great mood and great work.
Congrats, mb
