Gold...

Tried a painting effect...

It is like a picture. Your painting effect has been well done.

Excellent 7/6

Very beautiful

Interesting combination of elements here. Mario, maybe a tad too much contrast. The church is looking like it was pasted there. Regards...

Indeed a gold 'treasure'!

Thanks for the comments. The image is as shot, the church and sky were all there,no pastings, just playing with photoshop. Regards to all.

I think the painting effect added just the right touch for this shot, well done.

I like the melange Mario. very unusual combination...looks like earthy and spirituality were connected together. Nice ! Pnina

I voiced the same as Pnina about the spirituality feel to it !

Mario, for clarification-- I wasn't suggesting that the church was pasted. I was suggesting that the level of contrast is such that it is making the church appear to be pasted. It is stepping out of its pictorial space. Regards...

I just love to go to places like this.Thanks for sharing.

Hi Mario, usually I don't like to muche work on picture, but in this case I think the overall effect is great! as you said like a painting.

Very beautiful an original.

Yes, very beautiful result, nice color contrast. The only thing I would consider is cloning out the pole above the hayroll

Very nice contrast in colors and subjects.

Beautiful XIXth century painting!

beautiful painting.

Well balanced composition, interesting building, 6/6

Excellent composition, but think I'd like this photo better without the photoshop effects.

This definitely has a painterly quality to it. I disagree that it has too much of a photoshop influence.

 

The only criticism I can offer is totally subjective, something you might want to try just to see if you like the effect better. I would try deepening the tones in the lower left corner shadows -- not necessarily in a "burned in corner" way, but keeping some of the highlights.

 

All in all, I think you have something that could arguably be called a masterpiece here. Very well done.

 

Thank you for your recent comments on my work.

Sui generis. A byzantine nature study. Certainly a place like this exists only in the imagination of the artist.

Una splendida imagine, suggestiva e evocativa!! Complimenti.
