Two Nuns, Siena

Overcast/rainy day. I was shooting the buildings and whatever else

came into view. Felt myself lucky when these two nuns emerged from a

door 50' - 60' to the left. I positioined myself at this corner in

order to get the graphic black bands in the church corner and patio

surface. Image has been posted awhile, but not frequently viewed in

photo.net. Would welcome comments and ratings.

A great subject ! I see just two minor points: the black corners are a little bit disturbing (your polarizer ?) and I could do without the person on the right (I know, not easy to send them away....)

Have you tried to convert the picture to B/W ? Maybe just leave the blue dress of the nun and desaturate the rest ? A real interesting picture ! Congratulations !

Just a suggestion: Tell me what you think !

Been to this place, beautiful inside and out. Nice photo, agree with previous comment about vignetting and other personin photo.

Great shot, composition-wise, Kurt! I love all of the bold lines and the two people, accented by that gorgeous blue. Very nice work.

This is a nice shot.
But, I don't care for the vignetting... or rather, don't understand what it's for. Also, the vertical lines of the building aren't vertical. (IMO) It would be nicer if they were... The whole picture is actually tilted as well. The yellow cast looks a bit unintentional.. you might consider modifying the gray-point.

On the positive side, I like your subject, and volunteers :). The colors on their outfits are interesting.

I've attached the corrected perspective. The horizon was rotated about .88(deg) CCW, and there was some significant perspective correction. See what you think? :D Cheers. :D

Very good, apart from viniting.
