Night Shift 🌙 for #windowfriday

This took me much longer to edit than I would care to admit - even if it is minimalistic. So, if you have any critiques on it, talk to me about it in a couple of months when I've recovered from the pain. 😂
It's not great, but it's something! You might have seen another photo of this building a few months ago when I photographed the reflections of clouds on its façade.
Oh, the person standing there had just put on their coat and I was very happy they were visible! ✨

@NotAHopeInHades i really like it! It's a great composition!
Show threadNBNov 21
Oh thank you!! ♥️ I was almost tempted to move the figure to another window but I was like, they're already there and I've had enough by now - they can stay put! 😂✨
Show threadNoujoumNov 21
@NotAHopeInHades I like the symmetry of the person standing right in the center! I was actually wondering before if you had moved them to the middle to achieve this symmetry :-D
Show threadNBNov 21
No! They were already there! On the same row though, at the very end on the right I added in the extra window on the end because that didn't have a light on and if felt a little bit weird without it. Thank you so much for you comments! ☺️✨

I think that's a beautiful photo. What kind of editing stuff you have to do on it? It would be interesting to see the original for comparison.

Thank you so much! Here's the original

@NotAHopeInHades @robertgray That’s just an incredible transformation. Well done!!🤩

Thank you!! ♥️ I had a dream, then a breakdown, then a "finished" piece 😂✨

@NotAHopeInHades That’s how it goes 😂

Death, taxes and breakdowns, right? 😂✨

Wow, I'm impressed not just by your skill in editing but also by how you saw the potential in the original image. I definitely wouldn't have seen it! And you even got rid of the lights in each of the windows. Amazing.
Show threadNBNov 22
Thank you so much!! I'm a beginner at editing so I suspect it took me a hell of a lot longer than someone who has actual skill and talent! 😂 Yeah! I think I still have a version with the lights left in, but I decided that they looked a little bit distracted so I removed those too. The more I took out the more I wanted to simplify it! ✨

The answer of what I had to do with it - so much 😂

Minimalism done well is always the hardest work of all.
Show threadNBNov 21
Also not done well takes a lot of time! 😂✨
Show threadX Over ZeroNov 21
We know the feeling. But its a testament to the craftspersons care how much time they are willing to put in. And this photo looks pretty flawless to us so it looks like that effort paid off. 🥰
Show threadNBNov 21
That's so kind of you! Thank you! ♥️ Yeah, I guess when you've been looking at something for so long you begin to see things that nobody else would notice as well! ✨

I have full sympathy with the struggle you describe though, been there. More than once :)

Have you seen your photos though? I'd keep doing it if mine looked like yours!! ✨

It's easy to be one owns biggest critic :) I love your photos!

@NotAHopeInHades Sometimes it’s hard to really assess your own work when you’ve been lost inside the process!

I wanted to comment on the subtle variations in shade for each row of windows. Really excellent detail.😍

Show threadNBNov 21
Everyone is too nice to me today! 😭 Thank you! ♥️ Yes, that's so true! I usually badger Peter to let me know if it's okay 😂✨

Thank you!! ♥️ It does kind of look like a dolls house, right? 😂✨

Great photo! Worth every minute of the struggle. And yes, the person with the coat is the perfect tiny bonus. Sometimes minimalism is surprisingly hard work, but you made it look effortless. 🙂
Show threadNBNov 23
Awh! Thank you so much!! 😭 I have no idea the struggle you must go through every time then! Your photos are the peak of minimalism and fine art!! ✨
