HI Rod -- many congrats for being featured as one of the top 3 in the challenge -- they also gave some very nice remarks on the photo -- well done -- dave

said clarkdavidw 2008.08.26 at 07:12:16 PDT

Hi Rod - black and white certainly adds a somber/subtle mood to the photo -- the detail is so rich esp on the thatching -- good luck - dave

said clarkdavidw 2008.08.24 at 20:56:31 PDT

Most of the time I still prefer seeing images in black and white - you're right, the detail is so much more obvious and appreciated in black and white. And the subject is perfect! I'd move in to this beautiful cottage in an instant! Good luck to you, excellent photo and excellent eye!

said jannetie 2008.08.24 at 18:00:34 PDT

Have seen your colour versions of this beautiful building, but I am surprised that seeing it in B&W actually adds to it both in terms of composition, character and mood. Another great shot, Chris

Enchanting! What a wonderful place! Is 'chocolate box' the style, the color, or just a pet name for the place?

said summerjade 2008.08.20 at 22:55:22 PDT

Another great entry

said albertsville 2008.08.20 at 18:39:26 PDT

I agree that the textural elements are enhanced. I also like the increased awareness of line and form, as with the way the windows are bracketed by the roof.

I've never heard of a chocolate box cottage, but I guess I can figure out why it's called that. It's a very interesting structure. Great capture!
