One second

This is a night shot, the high contrast is due to the heavy light on

the church in the background. I found a place to get my camera stable

to shot for 1 hour or so. Thanks for any comment. jean

It looked like bright sunlight to me! So, that's how the blacks stand out in such deep silhouette. Because they are so dark, even though the background is not plain, the delicate tracery still is separated. I really like it!
