Crucifix

apparent pixelation in thumbnail does not exist in original nor in "larger" view

I was wondering what angle lens you used here. And how much of the contrast here is natural and how much was post production? I do love the shot...with only the one puff of cloud in the sky!! Could have cleaned it up a little more by cropping out the cloud puff in the lower left corner. Nice and moody!!

The lens and other details are listed...click Details tab above. I added some contrast when I turned it to monochrome in PP. Good idea about cropping the left cloud, though there'd be a trade-off in losing the framing I like. It could be cloned out real easily, but I'm reluctant to manipulate that much. This is full-frame, no cropping, which I do whenever possible. In this case, I like that amount of space extending to the left. But yeah, I'd let you pull that little cloud away, if we could. Thanks.

took me a while to find, though. first saw your post to "religious symbols."
