Eglise Notre Dame, La Charite sur Loire (Nievre)

Amazing light ! The hightlights on the foreground, probably the reflection from the vitrails look really organic, almost alive . But as in viewed thourgh a microscope

Exquisitely rendered golden tones througout. The humble altar beckons the viewer to come closer. The specks of colorful light reflected on the floor from the stained glass windows are like petals of flowers sprinkled on a red carpet.

There is a very nice brown/gold harmony, created by the penetrating light from the L,playing on the floor, lighting the arked enternaces. Beautiful patina, roundness,and silence glowing on the whole. It explains the feeling of sanctity of generations of belivers which are coming to pray. A gem.

Beautiful image with lovely light and detail. Very fine work!

Terrific!!...but what really does it for me, are those small highlights in the foreground, and the overall golden cast; good choice posting this one in color.

Very good shot where I agree with Juan that the extra plus is given by the strange white circles in the foreground but also be the warmer colours of the same area. Secrete signs ?

Wide south side aisle of the abbey church. The two archways in the distance lead to the

chancel (left) and ambulatory (right).

Wonderful light and very good detail. Very nice.

You are a realy lucky man with access to this great motives. You did a great job again. This tones and wonderful warm light are just mejestic.

Good composition and very nice tones.

I love this. Bathed in gold. Shimmering. The combination of the light streaming in, shifting and temporary, with the light of the candles, forever faithful, works so incredibly well, echoing back from the present through centuries.

Dennis, it's absolutely outstanding piece of interior shot, I agree with them; the incredible control on exposure, impressive presentation of the elements, magical gold light makes great layers & lively atmosphere in this moment, stunning execution, my friend!!! Best regards

Very nicely handled, Dennis. Well detailed.

I always marvel at the wonderful texture and detail you are able to get out of your photographs, they truly are wonderful to look at......

Such a beautiful golden warm tones throughout the church. What really lures me here are the lovely white prints on the ground created by the light. An interior shot brilliantly exposed.

... I appreciate them so very much, especially coming from the group that they did. I am also very proud of this image, which came out of nowhere among the 16500 PJ and I shot this fall. After working on it, was completely surprised at how clear and clean it was, the depth to which we can see in the distance. It is also rare to see a side aisle this wide in an abbey church, with the split passages in the distance. Again, thank you all. Jeff, what a place, eh?

"I'm horribly behind" as Jeff says.Great light and compo.

Wonderful photo! The light is stunning, and almost looks like an HDR image with its tonal range. Love the light at the bottom of the image. Was it from a stained glass window?

Thanks for visiting my profile again.

... it is actually an HDR. I've been working on making them as realistic as possible for purposes of shooting these churches. The colored light is from the north windows, believe it or not, coming from the north clerestory windows across the nave and spilling here into the south side aisle. The white is also part of the stained glass window, like emblems set in the vitrails. Glad you liked the shot!

The 3D effect is stunning.
