Haunted Church

My first submission to this board.

Are those clouds real?

The picture is nice, but the linear distortion causes the church to appear as it is leaning backward and slightly to the side. A couple of things that could be done would be to either move back or use a wider angle lens that allows you to keep the lens parallel to the subject.

Those clouds really look like the "render clouds" function in Photoshop. Not to say that manipulating the image in that way is bad, but if your intention was to achieve an undetected atleration it hasn't quite worked.

I love this shot, those stormy clouds and the moody angle make it a winner. I would have prefered that the lights on the front were a little darker though.

Nice photograph. Gives a very bold robust feeling. The front now looks 2D and the clouds really contribute to a somewhat forboding overcast. I like it.

Oooh, ahh! I like it! Good choice for B&W, very good, tight composition, great depth of field, love the clouds, the interesting lighting above the front doors. Great subject. I'd love to see this hanging in my house just to stare at from time to time.

The photoshop clouds really ruins it for me.

PS or not. It's strong!

Fair exposure of the church, but I've seen those Photoshop clouds so many times it really turns me off.

 

For the purposes of photo.net, I would indicate when I used Photoshop to manipulate an image. Seems like the ethical thing to do, though I know that's a whole other can of worms...
