Barn Window - Painterly

Posted under Abstract, Architecture, Color, Critiqued

Barn Window - PainterlyWe sometimes take an ordinary photograph and computer filter manipulate it in an attempt to create an image with more interest and clout.  Sometimes it works and often it does not.  I feel this manipulated photo illustration has achieved what the photo-artist intended.

The photograph has been colorized and filtered to give it a more mysterious atmosphere and gives us a reason to look at it in detail.  Note one of the outstanding things that give tension and drama to the image is the extreme tilting of the horizontal lines and yet the vertical line of the window on the right is parallel to the frame.

The purple color is unexpected.  This photo-artist works to her own personal pallet.  A little reflection in the black window would have given us the feeling of glass as seen in the original image.  I don’t feel the purple framing line around the image is necessary.
