to kill a mockingbird

Very nice picture!

i shot it in cyprus were i wondered how respectless the people treat the sacral buildings

of other religion. ( moslem christain conflict betwenn the greeks and turks)

a fine composed picture:)

Robert this is splendid. :)

Hi Robert, This is what B&W photography is all about, I love the tonal range and you have handled it admirably, which for a digital camera isn't easy. The composition is superb and I find the subject interesting. There is so much in this picture I could mention, but I'll some up, it's simply brilliant, thanks for sharing. Richard.

Really stunning picture. Just shows you can do BW with a digital camera. Nice work

you managed to use well the "hard sun". Love the sky too, it fits with the subject(s).

Very beautiful light !!

Excellent shot, and an strange architectural landscape, a church and a mosque...

For the photographical's sake, I think the first building is so nicely shaped, that a shot of that only building would be enough. I.e. a "simplification" in this case would lead you to a better aesthetical result, IMHO.

Anyway, that of course would be a totally different image, and maybe far beyond of what you're trying to show here.

Hi Nestor, i made of course photos of both buildings separatly, even inside. But the opportunity to get a mosque and basilika together is rare. i intended to express to lost fight between the old small mosque ( closed and dirty) and the new big church ( just build 1991 in front of the old mosque).

 

Well done B&W is ALWAYS a joy to me. Keep up the good work.

Hey Robert, Great shot.

Great shot and fantastic light !

Excellente Arbeit

good composition and sky really adds a lot to the image

A classic!

This is really nice--great tonality.

very nicely done.

Hi Robert,

thanks for this very good und interesting composition!

Paul

Perfect capture, Robert!

SO ORIGINAL! i know it's just a building, but the feeling it has to it, is so different from the norm!

Well, I don't think anything displayed on this site (or on the web in general) can prove anything about doing B&W with a digital camera. Anything that is diplayed has to be scanned in some way, so black and white shot digital or black end white scanned from a real print end up looking alike, reduced to the lower common denominator of the two...

 

Nice picture nonetheless... ;-)

I'm cypriot.This photograph is very beautiful and sends very big messages our lieder( greeks and turks)

 

 

Beautiful shot. I like the contrasts - light against dark, round against angular - and the perspective view with the menacing shadows to the left.

i agree with you about digital/anolog. I think as well, that a picture taken with a digital camera, provides a very good template for Black and White.
