Crossing with Church Photo

Photographer’s Note

When we entered to large village £aniêta, sky clouded suddenly and torrential rain fell. We hid under roof of bus halt. From under him view on main crossing in village and for him rather pretty treat neglected church somewhat.
We waited on bright interval about 3 hours there. The lovers of local cheap liquor with us be hidden there together ; liqueur from black currant about admirable name ,, Black Eyes''. They had boys faces sculptured with years of consuming intoxicating liquors and also beautifully hoarse voices. They had how we found out after 40 years , and they looked on sixty. By Ural Mountains has the put bicycles of mark, on which they got then - what this was for circus.

Hi Jozef;

The composition is pretty good with the church spire at a good placement in the image. However the whole image seems to struggle with some tonal issues as it's quite dark in general which I'm guessing you did to properly expose the sky, the only problem is- the sky was STILL to bright and you ended up having to burn it in post production which has left very obvious halos around the edges. PP work is great, but the main goal should always be that it's 'undetectable'- try and make as un-obvious as possible. I think this image may have been a good candidate for HDR.

All the best,
- Dan

Czesc Jozef,
Niebo tutaj stworzylo niesamowita atmosfere. Duzo sie na nim dzieje a jak nie trudno zgadnac z mojej galerii-klebiace sie chmurzyska to moj ulubiony efekt. Dlatego podoba mi sie ta fota! Dobra robota.
Pozdrawiam,
Darek
