[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I took this photo whilst in Strathalbyn recently with a girlfriend. It is of St Andrews Church.

A bit about the churh:
With almost all of the early settlers being from Scotland and staunch Presbyterians, matters of the mind and soul were considered very important. Before they could build a church, services were held in some of the larger Rankine homes.
By 1844 a start was made with a building, used during the day as a school and on weekends as a church. In 1848 it had become too small and a start was made with the present building. Between 1857 and 1865 it was enlarged several times to cater for the growing number of worshippers. It was not until 1869 that St Andrew's Church was considered completed and had a bell tower.

PP work:
RAW converted to JPEG
Cropped the photo from the original a tad
Altered the brightness and contrast levels
Sharpened the image
Framed the image

Thanks for looking and for your comments and critiques. Cheers Tina :-)

Hi Tina, great shot of the church. Your positioning was very good, picking up the curved sidewalk leading up to the church. You've got good control of your light, in both the shadow and highlight area. The colour and detail are great.

I see you're using Raw now, makes life a little easier eh?

Thanks, John

Hi Tina,
Very nice composition with the St Andrews Church.
Excellent POV, very good colours and sharpness.
TFS and greetings

Hi there, Tina. Nice shot! Very crisp and clear, with good light and shadow. You kept a good level of detail on the church's tower despite its facing away from the sun on this bright day. The curving path gives a good lead-in and sense of perspective and the church is well placed in the composition. I must give this Raw thing a go.
Regards,
Andrew

Hi Tina, great view with beutiful architecture, splendid light and colors, excellent composition, very well done, have a great week end, ciao Silvio

Hi Tina!

This is one of your best shots! Great "studied" composition and great use of the lines (especially this path on the lower left side, works perfectly as a "leading" line). Beautiful colours, too! Congratulations!

Best regards,
Hercules

Hi Tina,
A nice view and an elegant compo. Light and colours are very nice also. Sharpness could be better, but nothing important.
An interesting note.
Regards, José.
