St. Germains Church Photo

Photographer’s Note

I took this picture on Sunday the 2nd of september- the weather is starting to change and steven and I saw this sky and thought the lighting was PERFECT.... So we went to take pictures, i like this 'cause behined me is the sun shinning and ahead of me is the sea where the storm is heading...

I like my POV here... it's a good angle of the church.
One thing was when I was finished taking my photo's I relalized I had the setting on the poorest quality ( for emails) sooo it was a small photo, and i didn't have a lot of it to work with so there was no cropping done.

thanks for looking comments and critiques welcome.

Hi Ashley,
Nice photo. The darkness gives the photo a special gothic atmosphere perhaps. But in any case I wanted to see how it looks in a bright version and made a workshop.
And the church looked a little crooked to right, so I made a small retouch for that too.
Thanks for sharing,
Alper

Hi Ashley
If you'll excuse me, it doesn't look like an entire church ... only the tower and steeple? What happened to the rest of it?
You're right, light was perfect and I like the POV as well. Congratulations

Hi, Ashley.
Very nice POV and colors, but I agree with Tomasz, it's somewhat dark. I've tried a WS too, check it out.

Hello Ashley.
Well, I very much like the POV as well. The lighting is amazing, such a threatening sky yet beautiful colors on the church and gravestones. Also, I like the shadows off the gravestones, they help break up the foreground. Great saturated colors. No worries about the size, it is very well done nonetheless.
Regards,
Chris

Hi ashley, its a beautiful shot, i didnt reliese you posted one until today, but this is a very good one, you say its a pity about the file size, but it hasnt turned out too bad, it could be lighter though its just a pity that you dont have photoshop on the computer! its very nice though great POV, nice colours too, i think id like to see some more of your pics, perhaps the ones with the grass in the foreground. holiday soon!! :) HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY!!!!

Hej Ashley,
Great capture of this church tower! I like very much these very dark clouds behind it. Also the warm colours of the stones and walls are nice and it all creates a very interesting atmosphere. Well done!
Hilsen,
Lars

Hi Ashley,

Great shot of this church, the angle that you took it from is very good, especially with the stones in front. And with the dark clouds above, it has a great atmosphere,a bit creepy,but hey, they are headstones right :-)
I like it, thanks for sharing.

Greetings, Nel
