This is the rather grandly named 'Base Nautique' at Paimpont. The building houses the kayaking club and summer visitors may rent a canoe or a pedalo here if they want to spend some time on the water. The main feature of the building is the roof: what you see is not perspective distortion... that's the way it is built.
I don't believe you have any pictures of boats on the lake? Now I have a bad memory so I could be wrong. I'm just saying that this would be at the very a great shot for 365 days album. Dramatic bw.
I am enjoying the textures in the wood and the dramatic sky. This building has some drama in its architecture, despite its humble function. As always, you have processed it to its full advantage.
@essiesue Ah, Sue - you make an interesting point. I sometimes wish that what you say was true... but not really. You can make a photo look flashy and initially alluring with processing, but ultimately, unless the image is also technically and artistically sound its initial attraction will soon fade. It's true that processing is an integral part of my images but I have that in mind at the point of capture so that the final image is homogenous... or at least it is when I get it right, which isn't always! This is one of those that worked out, I think.
I have been awol over the weekend Richard and missed this. Just saw it on the PP. A fabulous shot in b&w, and so much interesting detail. I will add to your favs.
