I am a bit travel worn when I originally posted this. What I was trying to say is that this is an image in Marburg Germany, and I posted it after I arrived in Shanghai, China. Whew!
The slopes on this compliment each other quite well. Much stronger and in my opinion better than your previous post. This one needs no additional subject matter to retain my interest. That entrance in the wall is strong enough for me. Hope you got in for a few close-ups? Wonderful tones, texture and framing.
As Guy said, this is much stronger than the previous post. The same textures that are appealing in this, were overwhelming in the previous post. To drag up an old topic, the previous post was like a picture of peeling paint; we all try to make those photos, but they rarely work out.
I am struggling a bit with this image. I don't know what to say or why I cannot find something to say.
It is not a question of dislike or lack of content.
I may return.............
It is very Victorian. You were working with a bellows camera and glass plates were you not? In the thirty minute exposure over one hundred people wallked down that slope...
I am at lost here. Not inspired by the image. Maybe it is too common a view for a northern continental European. If I came from, say, Utah or Egypt, I would probably react to it, but as it is it is too much part of what I have seen in countless cities around Europe, without much to distinguish it.
Maybe a case of cultural difference?
Thank you all for the nice feedback, and to Stephane's point, as seen by an American who lives in a new city (less than 15 years old) and who seems cobblestone very rarely. I found myself photographing many paths and by-ways in Marburg, and it seems to continue in China.
I did want to concentrate on the sea of textures that created a worn pathway of experiences, with the door straight ahead as a closed path way option. The door is inviting, interesting but nevertheless closed and not available. So we continue on....
