I gave it a 7. I was wondering if you used a flash? I kind of wish that either the gate was not there or if it was in silhouette. I love seeing that slick pathway leading to the courtyard area. The color tone is perfect.

Lovely shot. I was there once upon a time. Lived in New Orleans for a summer. What I remember? It stinks. Literally. Of urine and alcohol. I'm sure in spring the scent of southern flowers may provide a bit of a mask to that smell, and perhaps the hurricane washed it out a bit... But it is a town of amazing sights, interesting people, and totally awesome food. So good memories this brings as well!

Very nice shot. The color tone gives the whole image the old "tin" feel.

Just fascinating. Makes me really want to see full size. Good tones, textures and great interest.

where is the dappled light in this awesome shot? I can't find it.

Great contrast with strong lines. The composition is very strong too. Nice.
05/27/2008 05:30:14 AM
not really that much dappled light.

Interesting and rustic. Like some Maurice Chevalier film opener. Good luck!

Beautiful scene, well framed, excellent composition. Love that it's B&W with such great detail and good example of dappled lighting... 10

Beautiful! Textures, lighting, leading lines, DOF, tones, mood -- it's all here. Doesn't really show the dappled light effect to maximum potential, but no loss of points here!

Very nice image!
05/23/2008 06:13:09 AM

05/23/2008 06:12:40 AM
i love the black and white and the lighting great job
05/23/2008 05:56:18 AM
I like how the lines of the stones floor lead help to lead you toward the light
05/23/2008 05:16:04 AM
This is beautiful, great contrast and overall compisition.
05/22/2008 07:55:18 PM
Really like the depth of this. Nice
05/22/2008 06:38:39 PM
Beautiful image, but doesnt really represent dappled light to me.
05/22/2008 02:27:54 PM
Interesting light but not its dappled.
05/22/2008 12:55:59 PM
Very nice use of the bars to frame your shot. It really adds to the sense of depth in this image.
05/22/2008 09:11:52 AM
So... I like the composition and the story behind, which every viewer has to discover on its own. Is the light dappled? I'm not sure. Looks even, just reflected from the floor. I'm not judging it however on dappled light existance, as it is quite fresh attempt on the challenge theme comparing to majority entries.
05/21/2008 03:23:36 PM
The bars are artistic but I find them distracting.
05/21/2008 02:24:43 PM
wow!!! please let in, great image
05/21/2008 12:19:21 PM
love the texture
05/21/2008 09:51:25 AM
This is not dappled light in my opinion - dappled light is light shining through several small apertures, functioning as pinhole cameras, creating circular images on the ground. Sorry, did not vote on this one.
