michaellinder 16,611 Posted January 31, 2019 Pierre, I've been staring at this image for quite a while now. It immediately grabbed my attention due to a number of reasons: the predominance of highlights and midtones, the contrast in sharpness between the tombstones and everything else, and - best of all - the background of the lobby appearing open to the space that lies behind it. This is simply, in no other words, extraordinary - a museum piece. I must create a museum out of all of your photos I've favorited, including this one. - - My best always, michael Link to comment

Jack_Maegli 0 Posted February 6, 2019 If Rush puts out another album; this shot should get the cover! To me it represents the functional compartmentalizing of youth maturing on this earth and the social pressures prescribing the purpose they should serve. Perhaps pointing them to their ultimate destiny of a grave after service; as opposed to freedom they might enjoy if given some control of their own destiny. Blah blah, I like the forward pointing shadows too! Link to comment

Pierre Dumas 258 Posted March 15, 2019 That's the lobby of Heaven, Tatiana! And the graves are Roman! Their owners are not allowed to get in! That was the idea! Cvlpa Romana! PDE Link to comment
tai 3 Posted March 16, 2019 Thank you, Pierre, for your clarification! "Culpa Romana". Brilliant idea. Once again, Bravo! Sincerely, Tatiana Link to comment
pablowarko 1 Posted August 14, 2019 I really love this presentation of the "Lobby of Heaven". It's hard to stop starring at it. The front stone has such a strong presence that it mystifies you. The one in the back looks like its protecting the pass zone. Wonderful lighting and contrast between the stones and the clouds. Very ingenious, Pierre. Have a great day, Paul. Link to comment
