OCOLOY Day 62: Mrs S at the kitchen window...

I was sitting at the kitchen table this afternoon doing some 365 commenting when I just happened to look up and see Mrs S in contemplative mood, looking out of the kitchen window. It was one of those scenes which, whilst unremarkable, you just instinctively know are going to make a pleasing image.

I would encourage you to view this on black...

This image is SOOC and is part of my ongoing OCOLOY project - you can read more about it in my post for 1 January and in my profile.

Absolutely stunning on black, beautiful silhouette. Fav.

[gloria jones]

A striking image with good light, composition.

[Joan]

Wonderful image, Richard. Fav. Good eye!

[Margo Sayer]

Like all the understated textures indoors and extreme contrast of the saturated light beyond the window. Mesmerising.

[Jocasta]

Wonderful light on the tiles of the worktop. A VERY pleasing image.

[Andrew]

Lovely scene, maybe it's more "your not playing with your camera again" :-)

[Richard Sayer]

@somersetflyer Not at all Andrew - Mrs S's first comment was, "Oh good, it's ages since I've been on 365" - and you can see her comment above.

[KWind]

Lovely scene and light.

[judith deacon]

Great image and you're right, viewed on black is terrific! Love the cutlery mobile in the window! FAV

[Tunia McClure]

We can talk about the lighting and textures and all that but the truth is I really like seeing a personal photo now and then. I like seeing your wife and your kitchen.

[Andy]

Always good to have the camera ready for moments like this one. Great capture!

[Rachel Withey]

Great framing

[Joanna kate]

Is terrific on black, a great photo

[Liz jones]

Wonderful lighting and as you say great on black

[Shady]

Richard you getting really good at this!! FAV

[Jane Pittenger]

Yes,,great on black

[Joan]

Those camera moments are special. Love the comp here as I can almost feel her reflecting on something. But what is it? The black on black adds to the mystery..

[Tom]

You have really captured a contemplative mood in this wonderful backlighted photo. So natural, so evocative Richard.

[Taffy]

Well done, Richard (and Ms S is very cooperative). It's a lovely silhouette with enough context to convey a story.

[Louis A. Sousa]

Wonderful shot Richard.

[Debs Stott]

Now this adds a little bit of a contrast to your normal shots which are out and about. I like it a lot, and like Taffy says, I can see enough around the edges to give it a context. Very cool.

[Shari]

Lovely silhouette. It looks great on black.

[kali]

how nice of her to get lost in a dream for you, these are so often the best shots, but i usually only see them in my minds eye, great you had your camera handy

[MoyaC]

Lovely silhouette and backlighting

[Richard Sayer]

@kali66 I don't always get them either Kali but there is always at least one camera sitting on the kitchen table, so all I had to do was pick it up.

[Barb]

Looks great on black

[David]

I love it... a silhouette with enough detail the other side of the window,around it and on the foreground work surface. Fav

[Issi Bannerman]

That's lovely. Super image.

[8yearson]

Super b & W image, and the lighting really draws you in.

[Margaret Brown]

Nice low key capture, makes you wonder what she is thinking about!

[Margaret Obey]

I love the POV which uses the light brilliantly.

[Ukandie!]

Beautiful capture! Her three quarter position giving just a glimpse of her profile makes the shot intriguing!

[john morley]

You have captured the moment beautifully,

[Joan Robillard]

A very intimate shot,

[Kathy]

A wonderful candid pensive shot.

[☠northy]

Quietly beautiful.. The light is scrumptious and the composition is wonderful... A really lovely environmental portrait..

[PhotoCrazy]

Nice capture!!

[Morgane]

This photo makes me melancholy , I like it!
