The Best Photography on Etsy


The Etsy Fine Art Photography team discusses photographic artworks for sale on Etsy.com. Team members use their experience to make positive critiques of individual fine art photo prints for sale in Etsy shops other than their own.

Opinions about individual artworks are solely those of the team members and are not to be construed as endorsements of other items in the artwork's shop, or of the shop as a whole. There is no editing of team members' commentary by the team captain unless requested.

Artwork is from Etsy shop ArtPhotosDiana.

Angles in this image create its dynamism. A pastiche can be a confused jumble, or a medley of compatible elements. Here, striking blue against bright white and grey are colors that compliment, and straight lines and sharp geometry emphasize architecture as art. Of course, architecture is art (or it can be), and art of art can be artful indeed. The offset left panel eliminates what otherwise could be a dull symmetry in this image.

Windows take many forms and are a basic quality of any photograph. Whether a rectangle, circle, or square (which this image is), a photograph is a window, or an eye, peering into a realm. Here we're peering into eyes which return the gaze, sort of. These eyes are a bit superior, staring not directly at us but a bit above us.
