Meditations of My Heart--
Photos and Thoughts on Life
Credit Where It Is Due
Credit Where It is Due
I like to make photographs, and I enjoy being praised for what I have done. But God teaches a different attitude, one of thankfulness and humility. He pointed that out to me recently. I DO NOT MAKE THESE PHOTOGRAPHS ALONE. I didn't create the light, or the technology which makes photography possible. I didn't buy my camera, it was a gift from my husband. I didn't give myself the ability to see through the camera in order to make an image which others find pleasing. It is right to use what I have been given to the best of my ability, but it is wrong to take credit for what I have not done. God made the light, the elements which are used to manufacture the camera, and the world from which these images come. He has given me gifts: people to teach me, eyes to see with, and a brain to process information. I am thankful for these gifts. He deserves all the praise, not I.
I like it better with the lovely curtains showing up at the top. Very nice both ways though. I love how opinions are so divided--isn't it great we all see things so differently. Have a lovely weekend. Mickie :)
The uncropped version is framed all around, partly with the curtains on top that others have noted. There is often also more drama to portrait orientation for some reason. I also like the 2/3 ratio better. When I crop I often try to come close to that ratio.
I'm like you, Dimple. I am drawn to windows and the thought that there are always two photos inside of one...the window itself and what's beyond. Nice work. David/
Color Dimple? Nah. These are excellent in B&W. Which one? The first one is my pick. The cropped image puts too much emphasis on the hanging lamp. Well Done!!!!
I typically would prefer the cropped version in its simple geometric shapes...but I really love the light and shadow of the curtain in the first photo...hmmm. Ok. Both:-)
Terrific captures for the day, Dimple, and I like the uncropped one with the lace curtains! I do love windows and all the things you can do with them! Hope you have a great weekend!
I like the uncropped. Windows seem to capture my attention, subconciously. I guess I'm always wondering what's on the other side. With reflections, they offer much more than first meets the eye. I agree that black and white serves this image well. Nicely captured.
Black and white, uncropped (I am unqualified to comment on which is the better from a real photographer's standpoint, but I just can't get enough of those curtains!)

Uncropped, definitely. It's a nice photo when it's cropped, it's a beautiful picture with the whole window and the lace curtain.

Both are good, but I like the first one best. I'm with Mickie, I like the curtains!

Uncropped. I liked the taller, more vertical story.
These are awesome Dimple! Great composition. I love the detail in the white tones, it really pulls it all together
Beautiful composition!

Excellent shot! I love the composition and the un cropped version is my favorite!
Uncropped! So much to see - wonderful patterns everywhere, and every variation of white and black.

Wow Dimple, discovering your pictures is always such a pleasure... You master well Black and white, here.
I don't know. Both are superb!
Have a great weekend:)

Wonderful shot, perfect in b/w, and I prefer the top version with the bit of lace. A bold photo, great composition.

Beatyful in B/W...;D
Excellent black and white photographs.
Regards and best wishes
I like the cropped
your composition is flawless
Uncropped. Excellent capture!
The top composition is my favourite. Just lovely!
Very lovely photo. I prefer the uncropped as it evokes a very comfortable feel and emotion.
I like the cropped version in b&w best. It's a very eye catching image.
Black and white, uncropped (I am unqualified to comment on which is the better from a real photographer's standpoint, but I just can't get enough of those curtains!)
Very good! I like it very much!
Yep, give credit where credit is due and God blessed you with much talent girl.
I like the cropped picture best but they are bot amazin' sweetie.
God bless ya and have a most beautiful day!!! :o)
The tiny lace curtain adds much delicacy to the window. Beautiful capture!
The uncropped version is beautiful. The perspective is dramatic - with the white lace curtains, and the lamp not taking up the whole space.
This is such a lovely photograph!
Is it your window?
Love

Very pretty in black and white!
I like it cropped.
Hope you are having a good week.
Beuatiful..I like the uncropped picture ;-)
Boy, I just don't know.....
I like the lace in the uncropped photo, but there is just something about the cropped one.....
Don't ever ask me to make a decision about ANYTHING!!!!
I like the uncropped version myself, and it's beautiful in B&W. Thanks for stopping by my blog! Cheers!
