Well spotted, good detail, and good for the contest. tigs=^..^=

The choice to go with a sepia presentation was a judicious one, Carol. As your 'old, old window' here is more than an apt candidate for said treatment.

And I like the simplicity of the architecture of the window. The lines and shapes that come out of.. come to the forefront.


Caveats?

One and a couple of creative suggestions.

First, the caveat..

Part of me wants to see the entire window within.. well, frame. The furthest right-hand and left-hand side/edges are slightly cut off and merge with the outside of your image's frame.

So, and without the benefit of having been there.. I might have pulled back to include the window in it's entirety.


The creative suggestions.. courtesy of philcUK and found in the Tutorial section of the Main Galleries..

Kickin' up the level of the old timey feel and look:

Bringing out more of the textures via Highlights/Shadows adjustments and some more post-processing sorcery:

"Faking the HDR thing..."

That said..


Your instinct to grab your camera and send this one along to us, your viewers.. worked out well, methinks.

Best of luck in the contest. It's a good good entry.

And..

But, of course.. thanks for sharing this one with us.

It does resemble the sun! Wonderful take of a very unusual find!

I would bet that it was a cherished part of the home in its heyday. Old, abandoned, forgotten, and soon to be doomed. How wonderful it is that it captured your attention, to see the beauty within it one last time.

Living in a 200-year old house, I am drawn to the architectural details of old buildings. It appears that the frame for this was replaced, as the molding details on it are very crisp, with no signs of aging, unlike the window itself. I hope pieces like this window were salvaged from the house's demolition.

I can almost feel the heat of the radiating sun, Carol, ☺ .
Very well seen and taken. Would be a good entry for the current contest (Windows).
If you decide so, Good Luck with it my friend!

Carol, I am always interested in how things are developed. For example, the seven spikes on the crown of the Statue of Liberty represent the seven seas and continents of the world. If you count the lines on the horizon of the window, it too would have seven points. So, I wonder if this design has any deeper meaning in life beyond the giving of light to the interior of the home. You got me thinking. Best wishes in the contest. ~~ John

Great shot of that window Carol - the deterioration adds much to its character - Great Capture!!!!!! Good Luck in the contest!!!

Great close-up Carol very well spotted.

I like this too , You could make this into a B&W and it would do well in that contest as well.

I love the simplicity of this capture. Color and lighting are so very good. A favorite for me. Best of luck in the contest!

A most attractive and unusual window Carol. It looks as though it could have been made from half a wagon wheel. It eminds me of the sun rising :)
You have captured it and it's detail very well.
Best of luck in the contest

Superb find and capture - with the pealing paint adds lots of character to this old window - excellent entry - good luck
