@bruno: Thank you, Bruno.
Michael, what are these homes made of. The window looks so small in what looks like an imposing structure. Great shadows and composition here.

@Marion: Thanks, Marion. A house like this would be made of stone mixed with mud brick. The walls could be 40 cm. thick.
well made image

@paris-émoi: Merci beaucoup, Francis.
Great one! The way the light and shadow are at a roughly 45 degree angle really dresses up this excellent photo. The textures are amazing, and the placement of the window in this composition is about as good as it gets.

@Viewfinder: Thanks, VF. That really is a well thought out and uplifting comment.
Beautiful how the wood stands out against the white walls.

@e.: Thank you, e.
VF said it best ... the composition is wonderful. With walls that thick, I'm wondering if the small window was to keep the the building warm in cold winters. It certainly wasn't to open and let cooling breezes flow through. We stayed in a private home in Austria with walls that were 3' thick (90 cm.), but with large windows because the heat could be oppressive in the summer.

@Judy: Thank you, Judy. Yes, the small windows would be to keep as much heat in during winter as possible.
Magnifique cadrage ! :-)

@10cré: Merci beaucoup.
What a lovely shot! I love how theres the arch of shadow then the rest is light! Makes it so mysterious...

@Sammi: Thank you, Sammi. I appreciate that.
Very good composition! I like how you managed to capture the relief-like structure of the wall.
10 Jun 2008 10:03am
@MadScientist: Thank you very much, MS.
Very impressive : the window is dark, and the wall is light !

Ah aujourd'hui on se complète, moi j'ai la porte et toi la fenêtre pour une drôle de maison si on associait les 2... :-) Belle texture du mur et j'aime aussi la diagonale ombre/lumière.

Superb composition Michael. I like the light/shadow play!
10 Jun 2008 4:34pm
@standley: Thank you, Richard.
Very nice use of light, both with the symmetrical dark and white of the corners, and the sense of softness you get from the over-exposure in the lower half. Excellent work.
10 Jun 2008 4:47pm

Simple elegance! The texture on the wall is so well captured that I want to touch it! Lovely play of light and shadow that turns the window into an invitation.

@alex: Thank you, Alex.
One of the most extraordinary window captures I've seen. I saw it in your archive and wanted to leave a comment. Took me a while to navigate back to it. Surely there's an easier method?

@sherri: Thanks, Sherri. I'm a great fan of windows too.
Ah, so much easier found through VFXY and is now in my Collection:-)

@sherri: Thanks, Sherri. I have another interesting window in a painted Slovak log house coming up August 4 if you are collecting windows.
