Moederkerk Stellenbosch

New version of earlier post. Sky was brightened as suggested. Does

this version work better. Feedback will be much appreciated. Thanks.

Dear JH - Congrats with your first B&W. You might just get addicted to this classic photographic genre. I agree with Charles. This one is better with the fluffy clouds more visible in the background. It's all about contrast. The fence in front is excellent - as otherwise it might just have been another church picture. Now imagine if you had a homeless guy sitting in front with affluent churchgoers in the back. That would cause a stir among PN's fraternity of B&W street photographers ....... Nevertheless - great shot!

Much appreciated. It was difficult enough to get all the tourists out of the way, and the clouds to join the party.... just joking. Indeed, your suggestion would go down well - something to keep in mind for future trips to the church.

Baie goed gedaan. :-)

Ja-nee, hier is dit nog duideliker - die tipografiese element is te sterk en lei die oog weg van die foto.

Dit is nogal ironies hoe skielik mens gemaklik raak met iets wanneer daar elemente van jou eie wereld ingebring word. Die "sub" teks was spesiaal vir al die ou subs daarbuite wat weer lus is om bietjie die rooipen uit te haal :-)
