Very bad experience with Scan Cafe. Not done in over 2 months. B.S. excuses. Basically lost in India. Did finally get them back, but would never use them again!!!!

It's the kind of image that makes you wish you were there to see for yourself. -
This image is also a reminder for me that perception is shaped by what’s inside your head, or more often in my case, what’s not! -
My initial impression was, why does she have lips like Madonna, and everything else “says” Medieval. So I did a quick Google. Wow, was I wrong! Lipstick was a sign of Witchcraft back then, and even today some in the Catholic church think it’s unGodly. Even more interesting was how the history of lipstick attitudes was like reading the history of women. So now the lips are my favorite part of the image.

It’s stimulating and tranquil at the same time! -
Good lighting! -
I'm a big fan of you art! But for me the model looks "out of place". -
One last note. Topaz Labs has noise reducing software, DeNoise AI, that can make a lot of the older images and scans printable. Helps on the new stuff too, I'm told. -
They're both nice, but I think this one stimulates thoughts of what could be. Like adding some other element to form a relationship with the church. Simple example would be fresh snow with foot prints headed to the church. Of course one could say that the chaotic tire tracks contrasting with the peaceful church and radiant sky is already a relationship, but I'm not feeling that. Or you could take you car and spinout mirror image lines going to the church. This may all sound silly, but thinking your photo, will help me think about my next one in a different way. -
I was adding noise with P.S. Elements (to cover up bad editing) and discovered Elements has a filter for fixing blocking. Filter>Noise>Reduce Noise>check the remove Jpeg Artifacts. Don't know if it works.

Looks more Holy Devine!

Go for all Black and White. You're almost there! :-) -
Good thinking! -
I think this is a graphically stronger image than the other, and it definitely puts out the “dry lake’ vibe better. I think typically the Master large format photographers of this style would wait for a more dramatic cloudy sky. In fact sometimes clouds seem to be the main subject. For example Clyde Butcher. -
I think it's blocking artifacts from JPEG compression. Must be an occasional software fart.
