Chateau Yaldara

By Rogerex
At the Chateau Yaldara winery in the Barossa Valley wine region of South Australia.
In the correspondence camera club to which I belong, I have to submit a picture for the topic 'architecture' . Not sure if this qualifies, but I have little else that may fit the category. I have cloned out a power line. Should I get rid of the photographer too? I tried cropping above him, but it does not look right that way. Scanned from an original 8X11.5cm b&w print. This photo was taken over 40 years ago with my first SLR camera, with which I used a separate hand-held light meter.

A 40-year-old image that looks as if it were taken yesterday, there is so much detail in the building. Instead of cropping out the photographer, you could just remove him. However, the group on the steps do look as if they are posing for a picture, so I am undecided on this.

Amazed that this is a 40 year old image - as to your question, there will be varying opinions on this, but I'd be inclined to leave him in as the people on the steps are lined up for a group photograph

I think I've drunk some of their stuff! 40 years on, I think they all deserve to stay. I think they add interest to the shot too.

What a great piece of nostalgia. I would leave them all, they add interest to the image, and make it more personable. (by the way I LOVE Australian wine, it's the only kind I buy. Lindemann's is among my favs along with Black Opal.)

Looks fine to me Roger . So much detail in this fine building .

A nice architectural picture, and well composed. Looks well in B&W and the group on the steps adds more interest to the shot.

Fine architectural photography, Roger. I'd clone him out for a smoother lead-in. I wonder how this place looks 40 years on?

A great 40 year old photo, such alot of detail, think I would clone him out, he intrudes to much.

Great shot Roger, it has aged well. You pose quite a conundrum regarding the photographer, I think I'm with the majority in leaving it as is.
Sorry I've missed so many recently, trying to catch up now.
Rgds., Jim

Very nice B & w. The man down front could be smudged out in the same color tone to give the stairs a clean look. (I use Jasc Paint Shop Pro 9)

Thanks for stopping by my Cats II to comment! I appreciate you taking the time!!
