Nice shot

I love the mood of this photograph. The simplicity of both the composition and the contrast with only the bright chapel standing out in front of a dull and dark background and sky makes this shot to a successful image IMO. The only concern I have is that the chapel is leaning to the left. Kind regards, Jan

Great view, lots of story and contrasting themes - small / big, light / dark, clear / foggy...

Straightening the chappel and adjusting the levels to bring out the whites and the details in the foreground could slightly improve the view.

Thanks to all of you for your nice comments, and a special thanks to Jan and Alex for your suggestions! I'll try to improve the image right now and post the new version later.

I absolutely love everything about this shot Alain. The composition is very strong and the contrast between the mist and the church is very powerful. The geometric shape of the buildings stands in stark opposition to the natural forms of the hill, mountains, and mist behind the building. Even the colors b/w the buildings and environment are in opposition. A very fascinating and beautiful work of art. Keep it up!

Best regards,

Stan.

Thanks Stan for your kind words!

I've just uploaded a new version that will probably be visible tomorrow.

Awesome Alain, I'll be sure to check it out.

Beautiful composition ... wonderful tones. Regards

Composition and tone is fantastic. Would've been just another photo in color. Straight to my favourites. Thanks for sharing.

This is a great piece of fine art work! Simple composition and nice contrast. The use of sepia toning is creative and effective.

Best regards Alain!

Beautiful processing, it sets the mood of isolation and enhances the contrast between the stark and gloomy landscape, and the bright chapel on the hill. 

Great shot Alain! I like your p/p.

Absolutely amaing, the fog in the top of the image makes it really excelent!!!    Best regards, David!!

Maginifque ! les couleurs, la composition... et quelle ambiance !! Bravo !

Belle journée à vous,

Isa

Awesome shot Alain! The mood simply oozes isolation. Excellent image.

All the best,

I really like contrasting elements in a landscape photograph, and you have it in spades here.  A bright, white, angular church contrasted with a foggy, dull, gray, undulating landscape; one place devoted at least in part to the soul and the other to the reality of present-day life.  It's a wonderful photograph, something I looked for when I was in Iceland, but I was not successful in finding anything this appealing.

Moody atmosphere.
