Oh, but you had wonderful warm light on this day. V

The opportunity is there, inviting the happenstance passerby to have a sit;
to quietly do some introspection in the sunny space of this solitude. Well-
caught, Karen!

The composition makes me want to explore the scene for answers. I like it.

Very atmospheric and superbly composed. The perfect caption. V

I think this is what is meant by "visual poetry".
Jeff Real26-Jan-2014 18:57

Nice! The contrast is really wonderful. V
Tom LeRoy26-Jan-2014 15:38
The horizontals really stand out, and the light to dark tones. Excellent composition. V
Mary Hamilton26-Jan-2014 15:25
I love your composition. The tree shadows on the wall add to the rustic look. And the sun shining on the pew/bench make it look like an inviting place to sit. V!

Excellent
Helen Betts26-Jan-2014 07:20
I like the texture and shadows on the old walls as well as your off center composition. The highlighting of the bench is superb. V.

Shapes and textures, light and shadows, all work well as an harmonious whole. Very very nice shot! V
Janet Donnelly26-Jan-2014 02:25
I see a very artistic collection of rectangles .... I especially like the two that are just to the left of the doorway.... being slightly tilted, they add a subtle element of contrast and interest. Nice shot! ~V~

Excellent to show the texture and deterioration of the timber in this building.The impression is that it is now abandoned to the elements.V

The shadow of that wintry tree really adds to this photo.
laine25-Jan-2014 23:19
gritty reality here, Karen. The hymn, Blessed Assurance came to mind instantly.
Terry Sprague25-Jan-2014 22:49
Beautifully sunlit and expertly captured. V
Neil Marcus25-Jan-2014 21:58
There is a feeling of solitude/loneliness here. The shadows of the branches on the peeled siding amplifies it.
Martin Lamoon25-Jan-2014 21:36
inviting seat in the sunlight.

Excellent composition, Karen. I like the rich wood tones in the nearly monochromatic scene, and the shadows on the wall. V
