Light through the window blind

One taken at the holiday cottage.
Couldn't get the curtains to hang symmetrically (I tried...and tried...and tried) and it's impossible to straighten a shot so that you get all straight lines when the lines aren't all straight in the same direction but I liked what the light was doing. No, wrong, I *loved* what the light was doing!
Edit. Should have said : please view large then you can see the pretty little star shapes made by the light shining through the holes for the cords in the blind too. Thank you. :)

I like the simplicity of this..... I know what you mean about converging lines, it can be infuriating!

[Jacqui Paterson]

Nice shot.

The symmetry looks pretty fine to me! What an interesting window :)

[Al Bailey]

Definitely should view large! what pretty little stars :)

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful shot. Love the lines of light.

[Jean Tookey]

I too like the simplicity of the shot. I like how you have caught the light.

[Milanie]

You are sure right - those little star shapes are neat! This was perfect in b&w - your attention is on the simplicity and lighting. Nice shot.

Very interesting composition. I like it.

[Lisa Stein]

You are so right. Large is the way to go! Wonderfully spotted and captured. Looks lovely in B&W.

[Ariel]

B/w suits this perfectly. Interesting composition - you will never get curtains to behave, but that's part of the realism of this photo. It would look a bit artificial if they were exact mirror images.

[Arthur Loosley]

Yes, very nice stars .... and stripes, too!

[Janet]

I had to spend some minutes trying to understand what those lines were doing - it reminded me a little of an Escher drawing where the perspectives are all wrong! Well captured - and I like the way you can see stars.

Great composition,love the light pattern through the blind!!

[Hamble]

Great simple shot. I love these shots where the light does the work.

[Matt Clendon]

It looks symetrical enough to me! I did view it large to look at the stars. Very neat indeed.

Excellent eye for the light there.

Interesting thing about perfection in symmetry. It is often distracting. Slight imbalances are normal so the eye does not look for them. The symmetry here is good enough that the strength in the light of the shot is the important thing for the eye. If everything had been perfect the eye would be roving not admiring. Just an opinion. Like this shot.
