Beautiful image, Franky: sehr stimmungsvoll! -- db.

This is sort of simple straightforward shot at first blush, but there is something very special about it. Beauty in a very pure form and as others have commented, that stone is the center of balance for the entire image. Well done. Lora

Thank you all! I was very lucky to find the scene in an old cottage last summer. Actually not much arranged here. The stone was there and I only may have opened the window a bit more.
And John, I wanna see yours! :-)
Cheers,
Frank

I had the same idea and took the same photo. I loved mine until I saw yours, and now...I won't post mine, ha ha. This is wonderful. My soul escaped through the open window and left the stone of my body behind...jrdu

I agree with the other comments Frank, this is a beautiful shot and just perfect for the challenge!

Helen and Sky said it all. Don't know if the stone was place for the composition or if it was already there, but it enhances the comp nicely. Dale

Frank - I need a replica installed in my home - complete with greenery and rock. Very pretty, serene and yes, I love it!

What serene image, Frank. I like the effect of the multiple window panes, and the open section adds a nice twist. Lovely!
