Photographer’s Note
This is church in Vukovina, near Zagreb capitol of Croatia. From the first time I saw this church (few years back)I visualised this picture. Up until now clouds did'nt look good. But here in Croatia we said "Strpljen spašen" (that mean who is patient will be saved).

Hi Darko, the mood in this photo is tremendous and you have got the exposure spot on. Wonderful contrast. We have a similar saying in English: "good things come to those who wait". Stephen

Hi Darko,
What an excellent light. Those sun rays are fantastic and the contrast of the white church against the dark sky is fantastic. Perfect exposure. Outstanding picture indeed.
Thanks,

Good Afternoon Darko -
WOW! What a pretty church with dramatic lighting. The stark white of the church against the black/gray of the sky really makes the image pop off the screen. I am not sure what the orange/grey is on the roof of the out building to the left of the church it is a bit distracting. But still the image is - Well Done!
Thanks for sharing

Beautiful colour and sharpness to this shot Darko. Personnally I would have cloned out all the unnecessary stuff like signs and electricity cables, but that is obviously a matter of taste and is not 'true' to the scene if that is important to you.
Nevertheless I really like it - the roofline and spire are really pleasing.
The picture has an overall painted effect - did you run this through a noise reduction filter?
Well done

This is a magnificent photograph, Darko. You were so lucky to have been there when the clouds parted to provide you these heavenly rays of light - something many photographers wait a lifetime for and never see. The well saturated colours provide a superb contrast against the stormy sky, but there seems to be a couple of small blemishes in the sky which it would have been good to have cloned out. Cheers . . . David

Bonjour Darko,
Je trouve ta photo superbe, ce rayon de lumière accentue le côté mystique de l'image. Juste dommage les détails style panneaux d'affichage public et signalisation routière au bas de la photo mais je suis persuadé que tu n'en es pas responsable ;-)
Bonne continuation.

You had been waiting for a few years.
Had you been praying, too?
It looks like a miracle or a message sent to you.
Wonderful.
Congratulations.

Hallo Darko,
What an amazing picture! It really looks like the light from heaven is shining down on the church. I've noticed that you've handled exposure very well! The detaills in the shadows are still visible though shooting against a bright light! An outstanding work of art! Thanks!
Best wishes,

Darko,
If the sunlight really came through the clouds like it is without any workshop I would say congratulations on your patience. There are unfortunately distractions at the ground level with the signs which cannot be help. I also find the tree and grass taking the main focus away. There was also a little too much sky I feel. I decided to cut off what I found distracting and see how the picture comes up. TFS Andre

Hello Darko,
i like this one, you really hit a lucky strike with you shot this picture, for we really like the visualisation of your picture. i wonder if you did used editing tools to super impose those rains? hohoho, but im impressed with the lighting and the mood it presents. by the way, how do you spell that word "Strpljen spesen?" any guidelines? is it Stra-pel-yen spe-syen? of what?

p.s. I checked the workshop and his idea is not bad at all: moving the source of light to the top-right powerpoint while losing a bit of the clutter on the ground. i would try to experiment with a square composition too. but don't take me wrong, your shot is fantastic!
