Red White Blue, a photo from Western Cape, West

Photographer's Note

This is a scanned image from a photograph I took on a Pentax K1000. The building was used as an armoury and for gunpowder storage in the days of the Dutch-East India Company. Even though the walls were not pure white at the time the photo was taken, the simplicity of the image appealed to me. I have retouched some scratches with the clone brush, otherwise it is much the same as the original.

Very interesting image with captivating colors. I like a lot how you've captured several parts of the building but not showing the whole. It makes me wonder... Miss a bit of sharpening though.

Une merveilleuse idée pour peindre un tableau abstrait.
Belle association des couleurs, bleu blanc et rouge c'est sympathique pour un amateur français!

A very nice graphic picture, very well composed.
It looks just a little bit unsharpenned, but you will fix it easily.
Well done

Very efectiv composed, with just a few elements, forms and colours. Very well seen. Don't care about the sharpness here, the whole effect counts.

Great eye there, Ray. Definitely one I would hang on my wall and daydream with. Nothing to add, the picture is perfect to me.

I am glad to discover this via the theme I created for that purpose. Those three colours really have something, don't they? Nice catch and nice postprocessing. I have to practice my clonebrush. Congratulations.
