  1. ... Classic, guys. I had no idea one could review such a shot :)

     

    She was wonderful, by the way. After awhile we started talking and she took such delight that we were so captivated by "her" church (she lived just a block away from this church in Saint Martin de Boscherville in Normandy). Later, a "petit fonctionaire" - little bureaucrat - came up to me to "investigate" my activities. She took him aside and told him off in no uncertain manner.

     

    But I love the shot (which PJ took, of course).

     

    Photis, thanks for your "warm" words, which certainly help in this winter!

  2. ... there are so many wonderful pictures of Saint Remi; like Vezelay it is subject to infinite variation. It has wonderful "bones" and it changes with the light almost minute by minute. We have spent far too little time here, but will have to go back and shoot here again. The nearby Gothic cathedral Notre Dame de Reims also beckons, but as glorious as she is, we prefer Saint Remi.

    ... would not change a single thing about this image. You've captured the soul of the building with the light/shadow play on the sweeping towers. Wonderful.
  3. ... another reason that the shot is slightly soft is that Pnina was on my boat, moving slowly and gently, but moving nonetheless. And while I was with her at the moment in West Falmouth harbor, I never saw this view that she captured so wonderfully. But that is why she is Pnina ...

    ... your portfolio is loaded with gems like this, Pnina. The theatrical lighting is great, but the real treat is how you've captured the body positions of the doll and dancer so perfectly; the effect is mechanistic and wonderfully artificial, which I am sure was the design of the choreographer. So very well done, dear Pnina, my elfin friend.
  4. .... this was taken four years ago in the great Vezelay basilica. I was able to duplicate it this last September, but without the wonderful light streaming in from the windows. The Morvan is a joy, PJ and I will be buying a house in that region (probably Avallon), so we will be spending much more time there. If you are going to explore the churches, please see the churches in Avallon and Vezelay. The great Fontenay abbey is not far either, but there are so many choices. Good luck, and I look forward to more of your posts. That alcove is Saulieu is a jewel and we enjoyed the shot.
  5. ... enhanced by the bw treatment and the dramatic sky. Nice detail throughout, which I appreciate very much. I highly recommend that other viewers look at the larger version, it is much more impressive. Well done.
