Rear Window

Posted by Suzanne (Huntington Bch, California, United States) on 7 January 2009 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.

To all of you who have commented on my images, I want to say thank you so much for taking the time. Your compliments are so very rewarding and encouraging. It's really wonderful to be able to display a photo here and learn what others think of it...from all over the globe. What an amazing world we live in.

NOTE: I've been asked how I made this photo. It's really very simple, it was taken outside a restaurant window. The tree was a reflection on the glass.

Suzanne, very creative work - I like the warmth and then the interest created by looking through or on the cloth at the shapes and shadows - very nice!

Very nice texture and the reflection of sunlight and the tree adds to the village scene on the curtains, nicely captured. It's a pleasure to see your images.
