Saint Francis silhouette , sun halo on a foggy day

San Francesco silhouette with sun halo on a foggy day. I photographed this halo of sunshine against the silhouette of the statue of St. Francis, on a foggy day, Nikon d850, Tamron 70-200mm, f /13, 1/8000 sec, ISO 200. Thanks for your comments

Quite something special we have here, Giangiorgio! St Francis reaching the sun with his stretched arm, beautiful colors and so well composed! Complimenti, amico mio! PDE

Mille grazie Pierre for your appreciated comment, ciao Giangiorgio

Quite an amazing photo, Giangiorgio. Superb composition and lighting. Thanks for posting it.

Take care,

Gary

Hi Giangiorgio,

 

you have photographed this saint Francis statue wonderfully! Not only does the silhouette make the statue more dramatic, you have put life into it by making the hands 'touch' the sun and recording it in yellow and black. Well done! Kind regards, Vincent

Thank you so much Gary for viewing and your nice comment , ciao Giangiorgio

Giangiorgio...From the thumbnail,the color readily identified this as yours and I remembered the statue of San Francesco from previous shots you had posted.On this one,your POV to get the sun in hand and the great silhouette effect turned this into another choice image.Bravo et salutations-Laurent
