Posted by Dimitrios (ATHENS, Greece) on 16 March 2007 in Miscellaneous.
it is part of the decoration at a coffee shop in the village of Agios Pandeleimonas, near Platamonas, Greece.
YOU ARE ALL WELCOME
Jason Kravitz from Brussels, Belgium
I like the shapes and blue tones on this one plus the texture in the curtain adds to the sewing (hand stitching) sort of mood. Nice one. Might be cool to see a detailed version of this shot (or another similar shot) where you frame in on the machine and just the curtain without the top of the windows or the table.

@Kukushka: I am glad that it remind you of your grandmother. Is she still living there? I miss mine.....
Sidonie from Sydney, Australia
You've captured the mood of the old 20th century with this one - the light blue of the chair back (?) could be disposed of, though - a crop just below the tabletop would complete the illusion of stepping straight into the 1940s!

@Sidonie: yes you are probably correct, it seems that certain shots can inprove by PS there, thank you, regards D, a 1940s photographer...
Jen from Jessup, United States

Yvon from Meerkerk, Netherlands
Great shot but I agree with Jason. Try some pp instead of going back, that will do the trick I think. Have a great time in NY and make us some great photos.

Damon Schreiber from Toronto, Canada
Wow, lovely blues! I agree with Sidonie about the cropping - I don't want to see the outside world except filtered through those curtains. Otherwise, I think this is really excellent!
