Picket way!

The radiant sky was slightly left of where I wish it had been behind

the church so I duplicated the picket fence and added to the left to

create this alley and thus balance the composition.Did it work? Thank

you for your comment-Laurent

Shot is very interesting. I've some doubts about cropping. Current variant is not perfect, but how to enhance is a question. I'd try to crop from left and bottom and have a look.

And I dislike b\w here. Yellowish (sepia-like) cast is not correspond with cemetery, imho.

And structure of clouds is not as good as it should be.

Thank you for examining this one and for the observation.Obviously,I agree that cropping can lead to so many different results especially with this type of scene seized with an ultra-wide lense;in the end it is a matter of taste. As I noted in my request,I wanted the dominant sky centered in the frame and hence chose to go with the square format;to fill the rather bare lower left,I added the fence to create the leading path and  was seeking an opinion on this.The light sepia was to warm the scene in which the cemetery is but accessory to the church in the clouds:could the definition have been better....surely,but what came out is consistant with my tool box but mostly with my skill level.

Just superb!!I love the perspective. I love the Black and white. And I love the sky. C'est manifique!

Fantastic tones and very strong composition!

Merci bien! Same church and the good sky encouraged me to take the shot.I wished the fanning cloud had been centered on the steeple,so I cheated a bit and duplicated the picket fence to fill the left side of the image.Glad you like!
