This image is part of my Personal Photography Project at Staffordshire University towards my exhibition. The idea behind the project is a voyeuristic idea of looking in on people and their daily lives. Though they may look natural all the scenes are staged.
I'd very much appreciate your thoughts and opinions on this image.

PS, someone tell me why tags like Southampton, Window-Frame etc are suddenly invalid tags ?
Das Bild zeigt eine Nahaufnahme eines Fensters, das von leuchtend rotem und teilweise orange-gelbem Wildem Wein (Parthenocissus quinquefolia) umrankt ist. Die kräftig gefärbten Blätter und einige dunkle Beeren der Pflanze dominieren die linke und rechte Seite des Fensters sowie den oberen Bereich. Das Fenster selbst besitzt weiße, leicht verwitterte Rahmen und Sprossen, die die Scheiben in mehrere Felder unterteilen. Die Fensterscheiben sind undurchsichtig und zeigen einen dunklen, gedämpften blau-grauen Farbton, der auf einen Innenraum oder eine verschwommene Umgebung hindeutet. Rechts neben dem Fenster ist eine grob strukturierte, ockerfarbene bis gelb-orange verputzte Wand zu sehen, die im oberen Bereich in Schatten getaucht ist. Der untere Teil des Fensters und die angrenzende Wand weisen Spuren von Abnutzung und Schmutz auf. Das Bild transportiert eine warme, herbstliche und leicht nostalgische Stimmung, die die Schönheit des Verfalls und die Intensität der Farben vor dem Winterbeginn hervorhebt. Es sind keine Personen sichtbar.

Passing Nottingham’s Ye Olde Salutation Inn I saw four people standing outside the rear entrance and couldn’t resist the opportunity to go and ask if one or all would be willing to be photographed for my stranger project. All four agreed so I decided I needed to photograph each one of them against a different backdrop.
I photographed Rae against a black framed window of the pub and after a slightly nervous start, and loud comments from her three companions about her never smiling in photographs we soon had her relaxed and proving the lie to their observations. I thought the black paintwork made for a dark neutral background that would really make the bright colours of her clothing and hair standout.
Rae (Ear spelt backwards as she quickly pointed out), is the Sal’s bar supervisor, a position she’s held for the last 2 ½ years and she’s loved every minute of it, meeting new people being one of the highlights of the job.
I asked Rae what she liked to do in her spare time and she quickly said drink! She then added that she also enjoyed going to carboot sales in search of old fashioned items. Rae also told me that she collects model dinosaurs and pots of slime.
Who was Rae’s first star crush? Ewan McGregor in the role of Mark Renton in the film Trainspotting, because he looked sketchy.
What item can’t Rae live without? She glanced at the Sal’s owner Jay (who’ll appear as stranger 160) and said Jay’s beard, going over and giving it a loving tug, which had everyone rolling with laughter.
I then asked what piece of advice Rae would give her younger-self and she said, ‘don’t try and roll a fag whilst holding a rubber snake’, something she’d been trying to do while I photographed previous stranger Nikki.
Thank-you for agreeing to be part of my stranger project Rae, and I hope you like your portrait.

This next one I saw these two walking up to the window and my photography senses started to tingle, but I had my 14-24 wide angle lens on and didn’t want to run up about 3 feet behind these ladies to get the shot; so I dropped my bag on the floor and rushed to switch out my lens, fired off two shots as fast as I could while still kneeling, then they walked away. This scene had massive amounts of dynamic range so I had to do a lot of work in Photoshop after trying to compress that range. I ended up trying black and white which helped the grain take on a more film-like look.

The theme of the evening was 'Gothic', but I had nothing Gothic to wear so I had to rely on the Magic Boxes
Flew up to Christchurch for a job interview today. On the way back there was a stunning sunset out the window, unfortunately I was on the wrong side of the plane.
The nice view from my cousin's living-room window looking towards the South Pier at Stromness Harbour.
With its classic bull nosed verandah, this medium-sized weatherboard villa sitting amid a pretty cottage garden behind a picket fence may be found in the South Gippsland town of Leongatha.
Neatly painted all in white, this villa is architecturally typical of the houses built in the country by the professional middle classes in the 1860s. It features a wonderful corrugated iron roof and bull nosed verandah with elegant cast iron lacework beautifully picked out in white with blue detailing on the wooden support posts. Like other houses in the area, the villa has been elevated. This feature keeps the house safe from the hard, damp ground during winter, and allows air to circulate beanth the house during hot Australian summers to cool it, making the villa a more pleasant place to be in extreme weather. As logging was a typical industry in the area, it is not unusual to find a house to be made of wooden weatherboards, even if the owners are of a higher social standing than others around them. Like everyone in the district, the owners would have wanted to help their town prosper and develop. What better way of doing it than supporting the local saw mill and carpenters?
Leongatha is a town in the foothills of the Strzelecki Ranges, South Gippsland Shire, Victoria, Australia, located 135 kilometres south-east of Melbourne. The town is the civic, commercial, industrial, religious, educational and sporting centre of the region. The Murray Goulburn Co-operative Co. Limited, is a farmers' co-operative which trades in Australia under the Devondale label, and has a dairy processing plant just north of the town producing milk-based products for Australian and overseas markets. First settlement of the area by Europeans occurred in 1845. The Post Office opened as Koorooman on 1 October 1887 and renamed Leongatha in 1891 when a township was established on the arrival of the railway. The Daffodil Festival is held annually in September. Competitions are held and many daffodil varieties are on display. A garden competition is also held and there are many beautiful examples throughout the provincial town. The South Gippsland Railway runs historical diesel locomotives and railcars between the market and dairy towns of Nyora and Leongatha, passing through Korumburra.

I haven't identified this spider yet. I was thinking that I'd upload it here once I'd managed to identify it, but that's not happening.
At first glance I thought this was a Salticus scenicus, mostly because I'm used to seeing Salticus scenicus spiders (they're very common here), and secondly because it's a similar size and shape.
But the markings are very different. It's not obviously resembling spider photographs or prints in my spider books.
Alan Thornhill (in comments below) has suggested that it might be an Icius sp, which would be a type of spider foreign to the UK. Interesting! Thanks Alan.
I've looked up Icius sp on Google and Flickr, and I can see resemblances.
