Looking In

Walking home from the post office this evening, I passed this window. While it looked quite warm and inviting in its golden light, I thought it interesting that in b&w it wasn't about the tree but about framing and textures. What a difference color -- or the absence of those tones -- makes!
Update on the cookies...all are distributed except about 10 of them, of which 8 remain. Wonder what happened to the other 2?

Wonderful framing and patterns.

[Junko Y]

You're right -- it's layers of frames upon more frames and then shapes.

[summerfield]

you are right. your photographer's eyes were having a workout with this. aces!

[gloria jones]

Wonderful lines, textures, composition

Excellent framing shot!

Well spotted, great framing and choice of b & w!

What a great idea, black and white does emphasise the framing and textures.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

Interesting image. Strong lines.

[Lois]

Great textures!

[Beryl Lloyd]

Wonderful - it is the framing and the geometric designs that take prominence in this shot - fav

[aikiuser (jenn)]

I love the b/w. Agreed. This choice highlights the beautiful geometry texture. Really nice

[Joan Robillard]

Wonderful bw

[Lee]

Very interesting in B&W the tree not instantly obvious. There is a very subtle reflection from the glass too.

[Peter Dulis]

lovely textures + the tree sets it off :)

[JAKB]

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Wonderful lines and shapes.

[Corinne C]

So sharp image with pleasing repetitions.

[Sally Ings]

There's a lot to look at and take in. I'm not sure whether it would hold my attention for as long if it was in colour.

[Joyce Lancaster]

Interesting framing Great shot

[Leon Buijs]

[Jean]

wonderful b&w shot. So interesting that it changes the subject

[Pat Knowles]

I agree strangely as I am a colour person but those shapes & lines specially if that amazing window don’t need any colour! Fave.

[Caterina]

Nice lines and frame. I’m always attracted by the small portion of life that one steals passing I. Front of a window! Yesterday I erased a photo that I liked because there was a recognisable man sitting at the table. And that could not be considered street photography! Fav to you!

[Kathy A]

I'm not a fan of b&w but you are right in that I doubt I would have looked at all the lines, shapes and patterns if this was in colour.

[Milanie]

Most definitely about the lines - that pretty much is what draws me to b&w

[Rosie Kerr]

The lines and shapes are much more pronounced in the black and white version. I like the different repetitions of the similar shapes.

[Kathy]

I particularly like the pattern on the inner window.

[GaryW]

Gorgeous!

[Rick]

Cool capture and framing.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

This is the perfect illustration of how color/black and white effect a picture. I love the black and white and its graphic quality. fav of course!

[Helen Jane]

the b&w forces one to view the shapes and intersections here. It is all about the windows - and I love that one at the back.
