Gilt-Edged Security, a photo from Basel Stadt, West

Photographer's Note

An elegant home, with elegant security.
It caught my eye on what was a very grey day in Basel. The weather was grey perhaps, but the company was fresh and joyful and allowed me to see the beauty in simple things as well as in those that attract tourists.

Nice composition and framing. Perhaps a little over exposed...

Hello Silke,
Simple but elegant composition of fine details. I think the exposure is perfect. But I wish the bicycle could be avoided. Regards,
Hakan

Hello Silke. The motive of the window with lattices reminds me on means last vacation in Cuba. In Switzerland I would not have expected the kind of the window. A beautiful and well taken photo, - with bicycle. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Hello Silke,
This is a fine shot! A beautiful, simple, elegant study of lines and geometric shapes! Classy!
(I wish you could have avoided the bike)
Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Silke,
this security is for sure interesting and might be itself a subject of interest for those who should be defended as it is also a fine artwork. Good POV and framing.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hi Silke,
Excellent details to the intricate gilded window. The white contrast well with the grey and the inclusion of the bicycle works well.
Regards, Tom

Hi Silke!
I normally like pictures of windows, and I think this one is paricularly original and elegant!
Nice touch of colours with the green bush, the red handlebar and the gold decorations;
TFS!
