Hiding the sun!

To be in right time and place this is the result for an interesting image you caught.I like that you worked nicely this one to have same time enough light in foreground to have an idea what about this place and same time the bright back light shows the silhouette of the church so well.Some ones can say that those wires disturb the image,is not a problem to solve this,is just a minor thing,important is that composition is so well done.

sincerely your friend radu

Laurent, a beautiful composed shot with spot on lighting. Very atmospheric shot. Best wishes William.

Full of sensations moment... Best Regards Laurent.

Thank you so much for your kind observation.I agree fully that the power cables are distracting and I should have attended this before posting;I cannot fix this without deleting the comments gratiously offered on this,so I attach a retouched copy.Not so easy for me with my skills and the basic program I am using,but I think it is better this way.

Is super my friend,I told you that even if you do not clone out the wires this image is very good one and now is perfect ,sincerely.Is not easy to get good light on this condition with dark in foreground and light in bg and to balance all to have a well seen image and you did it.

a very good day to you Laurent,here is a very heavy snow weather now from a Mediterranean  sea cyclone.In South of country few villages are completely cover by snow cause of blizzard.

spectacular lighting & mood. Very well captured Laurent

Beautiful light and colors. I like the setting with the churchyard in the foreground.

Wonderful capture, Laurent ... one of your bests !! The retouched version is awesome ... congrats & regards.

A very good image both before and after the suggestion of Radu to eliminate the electricity pylons, I like the contrast of the sky at sunset with the silhouette of the church, ciao Giangiorgio

Thank you again.Hope the blizzard spared you and your town.

Spectacular is a good descriptor.  Brilliant use of the square format.  Excellent work, Laurent, power lines and all.

Thank you for the kind appreciation.Powerlines....I built some of these so vital installations in my working life but could never get use to the visual polution they caused.
