Thanks a lot, Helen! It’s nice to know you like the image. Maybe this kind of Swiss rural environment looks as «exotic» to some as do your beautiful images from Turkey...?

Perfectly captured, Daniel, just the kind of image I love! Helen

Interesting, Gideon, you say this; I had thought about it and, then, decided not to. I did, though, change this picture somewhat when postprocessing: first I changed the crop (after someone in another challenge suggested so; and, also, I increased color saturation seeing this more according to the new crop (having eliminated a neighboring house with a different color on its facade). I am always torn between my journalistic reticence to change «reality» on one hand, and making an image more appealing, on the other. Therefore, you struck a nerve there... Thanks for commenting! — db.

You have a gift, bottles, to always first analyze pictures seeing details and then, on the contrary, synthesize all those observations to put them in context. I always learn from your critiques! — db.

Postcard-perfect!
If I was looking really hard, I'd ask - maybe you could clone out the intruding flower at the bottom-left corner?

Great shot Daniel! Your perfect focus really brings out the textures in this image. I love the colors, especially the way the red flowers compliment the green shutters so nicely. Very nice indeed!

Thank you, Denise and Katherine, for commenting. I’m glad you both like the image. (And, no, Denise: I do not remember nor can I read on the original full-size photo what the sign says; sorry!) — db.

Very pretty composition - I love the colors and the flowers!

This is a wonderful image, Daniel. I love the colors, flowers and the lace curtains in the doorway. The sign in the window distracts a bit. Do you know what it said?
