I loved the whiteness and geometry of this scene, but I knew I wanted a little something extra. So, with viewfinder to eye, I waited patiently for someone to pass behind the windowpanes. I was rewarded by this gentleman wearing a vibrant purple shirt. Along with the white of the wall, the scene screamed “fresh” to me – fresh, bright colors of the coming spring.

I like it. If the man wasn’t in the window, the picture would be too ordinary, ie anyone could have taken it.

Absolutely! After many tourists wearing uninspiring colors filed into the house, imagine my delight when I spied this colorful gentleman 🙂

It’s certainly a very happy photo, Stacy, and the brightness of the colours and the sunshine on the wall do make it look very refreshing.

Hugh, I can’t believe I’m just finding your comment now! (And just so you know that you’ve not been singled out, there are a few others on this post that I also missed. Yikes!) Anyway, thanks so much for your comment. I shot quite a few photos during this session and this was the keeper among them all 🙂

The “freshness” expected when I read the title was not this one but indeed it is “refreshing” to look at

the contrast of the monochrome nature of the picture and the colour of the man does jump out at you. The colour does also add a freshness that would otherwise be quite a stark picture. Really nice.

So you were hanging out at this person’s window all day waiting for a glimpse, a glance of someone? Something? I was arrested for doing the exact same thing. Except I had binoculars instead of a camera. And it was the middle of the night.And she just happened to be getting ready for bed….

Ha, Emilio! I was a bit more low-key than that 😉 I was a “tourist” at George Washington’s Mount Vernon home and had my zoom. The most difficult part was waiting for others to clear the space in front of the window! Now, I think we need to have a serious talk about your nighttime habits 😜

Well, it was actually my wife I was spying on. She’s a bit shy. When I explained to the arresting officer, we had a good laugh!
