Chester Cathedral cloisters

I have seen several excellent shots of Chester, my home city, on PN

recently. The cloisters of the cathedral are one of my favourite

places. I had thought of going sepia, but this seems to be close to

it anyway.

 

What do you think?

Excelente contrate Peter, color y composicion,, saludos,,,6/6.

Hi Pete.

 

I recognised this immediatly! However cold these cloisters get, they always feel emotionally warm - You have captured this warmth of the cheshire sandstone beautifully. You are right about the sepia, it is unnessessary here - your image is timeless!

 

Looking at the exposure date, I wasn't yet a week old when you took this photograph! - that would have made you about 15/16 years old at the time - isn't it time to revisit the old city?

 

Fond regards, Nick.

Excelente Trabajo. marcando la luz en diagonal. Saludos

Peter, Nice shot for a young fellow! It is some time since I saw this beautiful place - must get back there some day. Good light!

Good composition. Nice work with light and shadows. That's a picture that works out best if you take some time to look at it!

Excellent!

No doubt you where interested by the spots of light on the ground and the wall, but in my opinion the great contrast between shadow and light makes it difficult to see. I think it would work very well in black & white. You can also crop out the first spot of light just in the foreground, and begin the frame in the shadow which follows. Regards, Henri

I have said something stupid. After a better look, the contrast is not so marked that I believed. But always, crop out the first spot of light. Regards

Peter, Another fine capture with colour perfect for this scene. As Henri suggests, I'd also prefer to crop out the foreground lighted area.

Hello, thanks for looking at this shot. I had a rough try at a BW without the nearest patch of light. I would value your opinions.

 

Very best wishes. Peter

Peter, I like the crop of the B&W and the the B&W rendition is very good but I prefer the colour version with its warm orange glow.

Hello Peter! For me the black & white version is absolutely OK, and I prefer it to the "red" version.

Oh! while I think to that : would you take a look to my new presentation Why have I fell in love with Venice ? Thank you.

Thanks, I have been to your presentation on Venice, I thought it was excellent. I love Venice too.

Peter, this works well in b&w as the stones textures and light and shade are important. Nice work!

well, I tried to find a photo that didn't have a ton of people sharing there thoughts on it but I realized that it's impossible so, you've heard it all but I'll probably repeat it, keep up the awesome work your an amazing photographer I hope that I'll be able to get to your level some day.

I like the warm light and the composition in this image.

 

Nice work.
