Hi Annna, just my take amongst a myriad probably of many others I expect...but for my own personal taste I much prefer the simplicity of the first imageThank you for your kind words. I appreciate your comment, because I have doubts about the framing. This version is a cropped one. There is another version, of which I like the top, but the flowers at the bottom are a little unbalanced.. I'd be curious to know what you and others think of it. May be that I should have kept this tension between the top and bottom...
Or I could also crop the flowers and keep only the top square.. So many possibilities and I'm never sure of my choices.

I love my Batis 25 but I am really impressed w the Loxia 21.Hi Annna, just my take amongst a myriad probably of many others I expect...but for my own personal taste I much prefer the simplicity of the first image
I find the other external elements dotted around the wall just too distracting and not really adding anything to strengthen the o/a image any further, I’m sorry to say but others may disagree with me
What they do do in a good way is make the viewer question the reason of why you should bother to include them in the first place, which in turn obviously helps stimulate a discussion that holds your attention longer
The main point and strength of the image for me lies in the juxtaposition of the 2 main elements and that is the real poppies outdoors at the base of the image together with the synthetic candlestick holder indoors behind the window
Personally I think I would have been tempted to crop perhaps even tighter still the first image, to just include the 5 blind slats above the top of the lamps leaving out the distracting reflection in the window. I think I would have also toned down the gravel base very slightly to add a stronger foundation to the image that more closely replicated the base of the window frame...just my 2 pence worth as you wanted feedback ...Cheers Barry

One scary cat! Great catch! :thumbs:
Thanks Ute it's an excellent lens for sureI love my Batis 25 but I am really impressed w the Loxia 21.
Wish I could afford both.
Thanks but I think the Loxia is just a tad sharper.Thanks Ute it's an excellent lens for sure
I have been equally impressed with the IQ that you are getting out of your Batis 25mm :thumbup:
2 great lenses which are fairly close to one another in FL's has made this a hard decision for many to choose between them, hard in someways to justify owning both of them or certainly having both of them in the bag at the same time.
The 18mm Batis looks to be an excellent lens and probably a better companion lens for your 25mm if you need to go wider but I'm sure you have figured that out for yourself :grin:...anyway thanks...Cheers Barry

Annna, Barry hit the proverbial nail on the head, and articulated the idea better than I ever could. However you slice it (no pun intended), it's a stellar photograph.Hi Annna, just my take amongst a myriad probably of many others I expect...but for my own personal taste I much prefer the simplicity of the first image

This is the one for me Annna, although I understand the cropping to concentrate on the aesthetics of the colour rhyme of the poppys with the orange candle, I think the image loses the slightly uncomfartable edgeThank you for your kind words.

Many thanks S̶p̶o̶i̶l̶s̶p̶o̶r̶t̶ MichielHi Barry, lovely shot.
I don't want to spoil the party but do I see a slight margenta cast in the upper left and right corners. Reminds me a bit of my VC 21.
I wondered about that as well.Hi Barry, lovely shot.

This the one for me Annna, although I understand the cropping to concentrate on the aesthetics of the colour rhyme of the poppys with the orange candle, I think the image loses the slightly uncomfartable edge
with the abstract composition of the three shapes on the wall, which reminds me of Bart van der Leck, a painter fom De Stijl group.
For me this does really add something extra, the only thing I would do is crop a few milimeters from the top and stamp away the two black dots on the side, so you can't see it is a window-sill anymore, so it becomes more of an abstract beam working together with
the other two shapes.s
BTW Really like the strong composition from the Rue Chambes-des-desTabac.
