Ez is nagyon klassz kép. Az ablakkeretre logó megbarnult levelek, a berepedt ablaküveg, a pulóver, az ablakkeret, és sápadt szürkésbarna színek harmóniája teszik széppé számomra ezt a képet.

Thank you so much Bruce...
Ah, I like exploring the dark sometimes.... lol...
Interestingly enough, many people actually see the window series images as something very dark. Usually I don't. But this shot particularly moved me not to "dark", but to a bitter/sweet "sorrow" that inspired the poem...
Warm Thanks again for you kind comments and best wishes,
Aniko :)

Love the muted colours Aniko, gives the image that ghostly ethereal look. I like your poem too, although its a bit darker in tone to the feeling I got from the image in the first place. After reading it however the image does take on more of a darker feeling.

Thanks so much Renato!
I am pleased people see a story in this... I like a story in an image. I enjoy hearing other people's interpretations of the stories....
Much appreciated my friend,
Aniko :)

Loved this shot, Aniko.
When I saw first the thumbnail, I just thought that it is a window, just a window...
And when I opened it it was like a WOW! 
Fantastic shot and ideia. The outside let me to think that she forgot about everything cause the thing, the who she is waiting for...
Great light and angle.
Good job!
Best wishes,
Renato

Warm thanks Joggie... although you have only seen 3 from a very long series... lol!
None have any PS work at all. What you see is straight in camera work on very grainy film. I like PS work, but not when I can get a "straight" image like this! :)
Warmest Wishes,
Aniko

Thank you so very much Dear Mary!
Now if only I get the poem that I wrote (inspired by this particular image from the series) to FIT into the image somehow... it is too darned long and I cannot "clip it back"...
You say many times that you have too many words.. well, me too :)
Warmest Wishes my friend,
Aniko :)

Thank you Dave... your words mean much to me as well you know.
You're right. The light green sweater was no "accident"...
Did you read the poem that goes with this image?
If you care to scroll back, you might find it "fits".. or you might think it's trash... who knows??? But often I am inspired by my obsessions (mostly when I am unable to stop making a series of images similar but not the same as one another...) and I write either poetry or songs. I have a lily theme series of images, and lyrics to go with it. Inspiration is everywhere! Life is so BIG!
Warmest good stuff to ya ~ :)

Hi Aniko. Very, very cool shot, so artsy. Who needs a studio when you can find a set up like this? And you are so right, this window takes on a different feel with each photo. I love the muted colors, the sad look of the model, heightened by the dead vines. Perfect. My hat is off to you!
And you know what, it is pure genious that you had this model wearing that light green sweater, so similar to the window frame. I KNOW this was no accident, it never is with you.
Best wishes,
Dave

Warm thanks Dear Robert!
I am a romantic fool. I love these types of images and unusual portaits that hopefully "tell a story" (even when I have not written one with words... lol)
The very best to you,
Aniko :)

Hi Aniko! I've seen your portfolios, It's very nice and impressive.
You are strong the portrait shots... this one is a great
interesting composition and full of great details.
Love the original idea and nice rusty surfaces, dirty glass.
Very well captured and fantastic mood, nicely done.
Best wihses dear!

You're sweet Rebecca. I have thought of working out a way to do just that, but I figure the poem is way too long!!! Hoever, thank you for the high compliment, my friend.
Hugs,

Thank you Paul. I will post more and also of the house itself, as promised. But like I said, it is an "odd" place and each aspect is ever so different... I'll eventually get to it for your pleasure, Paul. Please be patient with me.
Warm Wishes, friend,

Perfect....exactly how this image felt to me, she is there but not really, like an old memory from before when the house and their love were new. I probably sound cheesy but you hit it right on the head with your fabulous poem, and yes it definately has to be on here with the shot.
Warmest wishes to you Aniko, R

Aniko, This one is really great. I think it may be my favorite of the series! Love the detail of the wood frame and the weeds and vines around it!
The model shows really great in this one to!
Super shot....Thanks for adding another!
Still looking forward to one of the old house!
:)
Congrats my friend.

Thank you so much Dear Rebecca!
You feel the poetry in this one, apparently.
Here is the poem (which is not even written in my "usual style", and is from a male perspective...somehow old fashioned sort of and ghostlish... very impressionistic... I'll let you decide...)
I think it's good to have the poem here as accompaniment to the image.
Ani :)
The Art of Love Abandoned
(My Sweet Bethony)
driving through a painting
misty
country morning
palette mostly violet grey
entwined impressions
Van Gogh strained
through delicacy of Monet
my eyes long for a different image
as I round the bend
approach the gate
the driveway stretched before me
'tis so close
yet without end
no surprise
to feast my eyes
a shocking expectation
still heart recoils shudders weeps
patchy colour
ground mosaic
angry flowers
torn and strewn
fragility beneath the mud
beneath my wheels
grinding deeper
relics from the sacred garden
Oh sweet gentle
Bethony
hiding there inside
I see
her face against the window
like a dirty smudge on paper
watercolour eyes so pale
burning churning bleeding through
she does not look
but stabs unyielding skies
and seems to bite
the abstract
trapped within Picasso's
twisted frame
she will not answer
though I call
she will not heed the knock
upon her blackened door
I a brush-stroke in this scene
accidentally placed
and she the painted goddess
my beloved Bethony
resists
perhaps afraid to gaze
upon the tragedy of art misplaced
I turn my face
fade away
dark gloomy shades of charcoal grey
a sketchy figure brought to shame
against the light of day
sweet Bethony return to me
scrub clean the canvas
paint us
rich
and golden
once again

I really like this one Aniko, it's kind of creepy, like a ghost in the window (great window by the way!!) or perhaps she is waiting for a lover? Anyway I love it:)

Thank you my Dear Friend Yousuf!
Interestingly enough, this photograph inspired me to write a poem, and the metaphor that ran through it was about painting... I do like "painterly images".
Thank you again for your kind comments,
Aniko :)

Thank you Paul. You can see why I am obsessed with this window! Honestly, I can't recall how many images I've made in the series... I just love the differences, even though some are quite subtle, each image seems to tell a different story (in my opinion).
Again, thanks, friend,
Ani :)

Yeah, that window has such a wonderful frost+grunge effect, and I'm sure it's a different look the farther away they get from the window.
Another nice one, Ani.
