Very typical in inner city architecture in Paris.

Nice that you got it in this way with the little flower basket, how something not to exciting can get really nice !

Simple and beautiful window shot. Windows really make great subjects, and this one has those colorful flowers and glass panes too. I like the way you have framed it on the left, keeping in line with the "rule of thirds". Well done.

Bob - shot looks great (colors and contrast included ;-)
I agree with Manuela - window shots are fun and provide for great subjects. Living in Brussels, I like to just walk out from my house and capture all the different balconies, buildings and flower boxes around the neighborhood.

@Jason Kravitz: Jason - thanks. For what ever reason, I eventually got the right look of the colors on my monitor. I think I had to close down firefox and reload it. Thanks for your help.
It seems that in many countries in Europe, one can just take a neighborhood stroll and find scenes like this. For me, however, it is more of a rarity but one I'll take advantage of, time after time.

Perfect composition Bob! Love these types of shots... It;s nearly impossible to find this kind of architecture in the the states.

@Daniel: That's why I had to travel to Paris to get this shot!

Classic "rule of threes" photo. Thanks for showing us how it's done. You have a very fine image here, Bob.

I like the way the flowers seem to be bursting out of the window.
