Holy Glow - The Unfinished Church

Any comments are welcome and appreciated. Going for the dreamy, airy

look in this one.

Nicely visual angle & perspective, soft light, great details, lovely warm tones, another excellent architecture shot, very original, Lucy!!! Best regards.

hello Lucy~ You captured this very well. I like the softness, and your composition is excellent. Nice one...

This is beautiful... great composition, subject and post work. I especially like that it has three basic colors and the are very complimentary.

Putting it simply, ........ "you doing some good stuff girl!" :)

Love the blending of this image. Wonderful!!

Very professional perspective with a great blur filter. Colors are also calm and distributed innovatively. I do enjoy the nice sunlights along the aged walls. A creative shot Lucy.

Of the series so far, I'm liking this one best. Great combination of a good composition, strong colours, and a soft, dreamy look.

great shot composition and colors

I really like how you've composed the shot--really strong leading lines. Also, this is a great subject: was it really unfinished or is it in ruins? I'm less thrilled about the PS work. I'd try photographing this again, from the same spot, when there's less contrast in the scene (light more balanced between sky and building).

Thanks for your comments, yes this really was unfinished. "Construction of the church started in the 1870s. The magnificent Gothic structure was meant to be a replacement for St. Peter?s Church. Following a series of problems, including parish infighting, financial difficulties and a damaging storm, it was abandoned on the eve of its completion. Today, the picturesque ruins are a protected historic monument and part of the St. George's World Heritage Site."-The Bermuda National Trust

 

In fact I have tried this composition at various times during the day, all have their own atmosphere. The warm light here is due to the sunset behind me. The site is about 1/2hr away from me, so once there was a terrific sunset I couldn't rush over to take the photo. Every chosen evening of mine the empty sky had already turned grey and bleached. Maybe I will have another chance sometime. THanks for taking a look.

 

 

I think I remember your very 1st photo submitted, it was the 2 bears? Well, since then you have made tremendous progress. This image is proof thereof. Although I'm not big on PS, you kept it realistic, but the strenght of this image lies in the lines of the structure. Well done. JH

Perfect for Ortonizing

Very nice capture. It seems to have a mood about it that really fits. Very nice.

Beautiful composition and light! The glow on the building is outstanding. The architecture is great.

The composition and treatment makes this really succeed in the dreamy department. This has a very tranquil feeling. Beautiful lighting and just the right amount of detail in the structure. What a great place this would be for doing bridal portraits!
