A feeling of calm and peace washed over me as I looked at your beautiful photo. I can feel the stillness of the air, crisp and clean after a soft rain. The sunset through the steeple and the glow of the stained glass from within gives the feeling that this church was kissed by the light. Beautiful.

incredible light. beautifully captured and composed

Rhonda, thank you. I'm glad you like it. Warm regards.

 

Mary, thanks. Warm regards.

The light shining through the steeple looks like it is the same light radiating through the stained glass. Amazing exposure... challenging I'm sure. Did you use any HDR? The white cross illuminated in the steeple is a nice touch. Great work Linda.

Thank you for your thoughts. I didn't use HDR software although I think what I do when playing around and touching up an image is similar to the effect you get with it. I create layers, adjust the opacities, levels, curves, contrast etc. I experiment with the different layer opacities and combine them when I am satisfied that it I have the best result.

 

 

 

 

Fantastico trabajo. Muy buenos los contraluces. Saludos

Great angle with a wonderful effect for the Sun and the shadow. The reflection of the windows' glasses is also amazing. Great shot dear Linda.

An exceptional shot Linda...You must be proud of this!!

What glorious timing. Like people, it's hard to fathom the beauty of stained glass until you see the light shine through them. I see this as a statement of faith.

Other than the hill in the far background to the right of the church being lightened up too much I think it's a great image. Nice work.

Fantastic lighting!! I can't seem to take my eyes off it Linda.... Great job!!

Well seen and captured, Linda ... good work !!. Regards.

Excellent.

Jeff, your comment reminds me of a favorite quote by Elizabeth Kublar_Ross “People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.” Thank you so much for your thoughts and for reminding me of this quote, I had forgotten it. All the best.
