[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This church can be found in Fuentesecas, a small village in the north of Toro. Like many other churches in Castilla-y-Leon it's built a few 100 meters besides the village.
The loneliness of such a church makes it much more easy to capture it on a creative manner.

Ciao Eddie,

between earth and sky!
I like the pov....the contrast between the endless fields and the blue sky...in the middle...the church...bridging this 2 elements!

ciao
Silvio

Hello Eddie,
fantastic shot. I love the solitude of the church, looks like being forgotten - in my country churches are in the middle of the village.
Beautiful colours and amazing sky. Superb composition with the golden round field.
Bravo
Best wishes

Hello Eddie,

Your creative skill speaks here, technically too as usual. You captured an incomparable scene in perfect composition and colors. Especially excellent usage of yellow/green fields are spectacular under cloudy sky, of course church is eye catching there. Congratulations.

Hi Eddie,
what a wonderful image like a painting
excellent clearity and quality
my compliments

for me, that way should look peace.
a place where you can reconigze a good book, you can remember a good moment and you can go with a good person.
bravo

Hi Eddie
I love Castilla-y-Leon when there's such a beautiful light and it's weird how you do come across isolated churches there. I like how this one is surrounded by so many contrasting fields and how the fluffy clouds liven up the sky.
Regards
Nikki

Hi Eddie
Very nice colors of the summer. Stunning 3D sky with a very good lens
Cheers

Hallo Eddie,
Schitterend landschap, werkelijk prachtig hoe je deze kerk hebt weten te plaatsen in het landschap waardoor hij er moederziel alleen staat....wat een impact..!!! Het licht is erg mooi, fel, maar scherp. Pola filter verhoogt nog verder het contrast tussen blauwe lucht met wolken. Mooie plaat, ik mag dit graag zien.
Groet, Henk

Almots unreal... Almost an island in a golden sea...
That place, at that moment, is beautiful and you composed it perfectly.
Stéphane

Hallo Eddie,
Die kerk staat daar als een soort luchtspiegeling in het niets. Kennelijk normaal in die regio, maar zoals je zegt: het schept ruimte voor creativiteit. Die ruimte heb je hier uitstekend weten te benutten. De idee van God die de wereld schiep en die zijn creatie vervolgens tevreden overschouwde, is hier tastbaar aanwezig. Niet alleen de compositie zorgt daarvoor, maar ook de hemelse kleuren en de duivelse contrasten ;o).
Prachtig!
TFS & groeten,
Erik

Hello Eddie
wooov
great atmosphere
beuatiful church
nice pastel colors and presantaion
tfs

Ozhan

Deze is inderdaad echt mooi van kleur Eddie, niet te heftig maar goed doortekend evenwichtig contrastrerend, het groen langs het gele korenveld draait als een bocht naar de kerk toe waarvan de toren mooi afsteekt in het getemperd blauw van de hemel met de witte goede tekstuur in de wolken.
groet
Henk

Hi Eddie
Beautiful picture !
The choice of half and half is well done here and the church on the right side is at the right place.
Using polarizer is a good choice
Bravo
Alain

Très belle image
Le ciel est magnifique et donne de la force à la composition.

Bonjour Eddie
Une composition splendide, bien équilibrée avec un ciel de toute beauté, bravo à toi j'aime beaucoup!

Excellent image, Eddy, the church looks so isolated on this immense plain, and the polarisation worked well in creating a 3D feel in the sky.

Cheers
