Church of Tum Photo

Photographer’s Note

The Collegiate church of St. Mary and St. Alexius in the village of Tum, near city of the town of Łęczyca. It is a Romanesque church of granite built during the years 1140–1161. The church was built in opus emplectum style and has the form of an aisled basilica with galleries, twin-tower west facade and two apses (west and east). Round turrets at the east were added during reconstruction after WWII. The church resembles the Wawel Cathedral founded by Władysław I Herman. It was rebuilt in XV and at the end of XVIII century and burned in 1939; reconstruction works ended in 1954. The main (north) portal is sculpted and dates back to the first half of XII century. The biggest and one of the most notable Romanesque relics in Poland.

Hello Mikolaj,

The vertical format is here very well selected, excellent POV and framing too. The green POV give a veryplesant graphic effect and especially a great depht to the image. A very good photowork.

Hallo Mikolaj!
Here I like especially the fancy composition of the photo - and of course this venerable building. These rows of plants (celery ?) create a wonderful depth and lead the eyes to the main character here. I like this one!
Greetings from much cooler Germany - and have a nice weekend!
Frank

Ciao Mikolaj,
bella vista di questa chiesa con la zona verde coltivata in primo piano a dare contrasto e DOF.

Well done!

Hi Mikolaj,
The perspective of the neat lines of these plants is focusing straight to the church here. Very attractive colours and a very interesting church. But what is the crop on the field here?
Kind regards
Gunnar

dear Mikolaj Kawa,
a wonderful perspective of your original composition.
fore green yard is very photogenic and makes nice depth of space,
and an impressive old church matches this location beyond the yard.
blue sky, green yard, and cream wall and pale green roof are like one music.
thank you,
Akihisa

Hello Mikolaj,
I find that the association of the vine and the church is judicious aesthetically and intellectually. The generous light reveals the colors. It is an image pleasant and carried out well. Cheer.
Have a nice sunday.
Cordially.

Hi Mikolaj,

A very beautiful church which fortunately is standing despite the fire and war. Planting leads the eye to the church in good perspective. Excellent light, colors and sharpness.

Have a nice week

Bonjour
un cadrage excellent pour nous présenter cette superbe collègiale avec ce champ au premier plan et d'où une bonne perspetive, une bonne lumière baigne l'ensemble, l'intérieur doit avoir son charme
bonne semaine

Hi Mikolaj

Interesting picture with a geometric approach. Personally I would had moved the church more to the right e.g. given a bit more room in front. If possible I would also use the farm field more diagonally. However that is my personal preference. Thanks to the green farm field in the FG DOF is absolutely perfect as is the sharpness. Your light and contrast management is very subtle, nice job, the contrast of the blue and green hues is beautiful. Well done

best regards
Urs
