Balconies

In my head had a vision of what kind of photo would appeal to me but this photo of a modern building really changed my perception for the whole of the contest. These balconies totally add to the buildings beauty. I love the portrait letterbox format which makes a stunning photo! Well done for coming second and for opening my eyes!!

This photo was one of favourites from the first time I saw it, but the competition was so high for the top ten, that it kept moving up and down in my top ten , I am pleased I decided to put it as my number one eventually as I love it! iI wanted to find a balcony that wasn't over shadowed by the building , the building here is beautiful in itself but I think the balcony still is the main focus of the photo, it compliments if not adds to the charm of the building and the flowers on each side give it balance , furthermore the wonderful stone base and struts add further charm to the balcony . Well done for capturing a beautiful , well balanced composition and on coming first!!

I loved the simplicity of this photo, I loved the intricate iron work on the balcony perfectly balanced in colouring with the shutters and complimented by the walls. The composition is well balanced, I am not sure if I would have cropped the bottom to just underneath the balcony . The competition was really high so to chose just ten was difficult but this had to be in the top ten as it is so simple and beautiful .Well done

I absolutely love this photo , mainly for the architecture , the angle of the composition. The editing of a very normal building we see every day turns it into a work of art. It shows a great eye and vision. The only reason it wasn't in my top ten was I thought the building was the main focus rather than the balconies and I had so many great amazing balconies to chose from . Well done for an amazing photo and thank you for entering.
