Lyon Cathedral Photo

Photographer’s Note

Thick snow starting falling after returning from Chamonix.
Really made the city look pretty while it was coming down.

Some exposure adjustment.
Would love tips on how to get the church to "pop" a bit more through the trees and not look so flat.

Hi Ryan !

An interesting view of Lyon's Cathedral, under this year's unusual amount of snow.

For having a better view of the church, I think you could have focused on it instead of the trees. Here you focus on the trees and they are really sharp and detailed, but the church is a bit fuzzy.

Doing the opposite will also set the light mesurement on the church. Thus you'll have a better contrast and maybe a less burned sky. The tree will be a bit fuzzy in the foreground, giving an interesting effect.

But for this, may be you should have moved a bit on your right, in order to have less tree and more church.

Cheers !
Youssef.
