Absolutely spectacular point of view on this shot Allyson! The straight edges offset against the gentle curves and slopes of the scenic background; the soft tones of it all … subtle greys, blues and golds. This is one that really needs to be hung on the wall … perhaps printed on aluminum? Breathtaking.
Oh Ally, that’s great! The lightness of the clouds against the dark of the building structure and the fluffiness of the clouds against the straight lines of the building make for wonderful contrasts! Can’t wait to share it with my sister:)
Wow. Stunning shot. Composotion is perfect. And the sky was obviously your friend that day. “Oh, you’re taking a picture of this extraordinary balcony overlooking a lake? Here, let me arrange myself to be breathtaking…”
Story-wise… I’d love to hear a story with this as the setting! (And, please, may I be the happy protagonist who lives here…)
Composition is perfect. Unfortunately the same can’t be said for my spelling…
wow Ally, you have really captures the Drama of cliffside living above the lake — not at all a “usual” Okanagan view, in the tourist sense, and such a breath of fresh air because of that! Plus of course homage to a remarkable dwelling! Great shot.
Such contrasts in this photo: the reversal of something dark, heavy and angular at the top with organic patterns and and light (weight and colour wise) at the bottom; and a Blakean sky on the left with geometric modernity on the right. Brilliant!
