Two priests

I took this photo in The Church of the holy sepulcure in Jerusalem.

Comments and ratings are appriciated.

Thank you Sergio

Amazing story well presented, timing is excellent. Would give 7 if not framed

Oh, Vlad, next time I will drop the frame. Thank you so much anyway.

You have captured a moment in time with wonderful technique.  You can almost hear the conversation and the intensity of the attention to one another. Hands add to the composition.  I really like your capture ... thank you for sharing with the PN community

Explanation and contemplation with superb lighting.  Excellent catch... Mike

Very Good (6)

J, Mike and Tony, thank for good comments.

Choice capture!Your timing was right on to seize the full intensity of the priests in their discussions.Bravo for this excellent work!

Great scene Eystein, strong theme, perfect lighting, but i have strong objections on the post processing and mainly on this awful frame. Could you please share the original with us. I have the feeling it is a much much greater image.

Eystein what strikes me about this image are the priests hands. The hands show one talking and one listening. A great overall capture.

BR, Holger

A really beautiful result, Eystein!

Thank you for interesting comments and point of view. This image is a small segment of a much larger, and I am aware that it is impossible to make it technically perfect. In this case it is not the most important thing either. The image looks like an old painting, and I even tried to put on a filter that would impose canvas. It did not work well enough, so I took it away. Instead I put on a frame, and then comes the next question: What's wrong with that? There are many photographers who are completely negative to frames, and I really don't understand why. Of course I would not used this kind of frames to all photos, but here I think it works. Why does ruin the image? I would not hang the picture on the wall without a frame and I do not see why a digital frame should have such dramatic effect. I almost always have a thin black frame on the photos I publish on PN. Does it reduce the quality? If so, why? Anyway, this is an interesting discussion.

Best regards Eystein

Thank you for looking and good comments.

Best regards

Eystein

Sorry Michael. I attached a wrong image. Here comes the original

Best regards Eystein

LOL, I didn't notice until viewing your larger image, but the Priest on the right is wearing Crocs.  The modern movement, I guess ;-)... Mike

I didn't see it either before now.

Dear Eystein it all breaks down to personal taste after all. "One man's meal another man's poison" they say.
Keep up your photo-work the way it pleases you the most.

Take care,
Michalis

I appreciate your comments, positive and negative. Different points of view are always interesting. And I'm sorry I spelled your name wrong. I'll never do it again.

Best regards

Eystein
