Photographer’s Note
The Basilica of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré is a catholic church, located in the city with the same name, in Quebec province. Each year, over a million and a half pilgrims and visitors come to the Shrine of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré for prayer and admiring the architecture. It will celebrate its 350th anniversary in 2008. But this church was built in 1923 and is the fifth one, because previous buildings had been destroyed by bad weather and a fire.
Saint Anne is the patroness of the province of Quebec.

This picture was scanned. I employed Adobe Photoshop Elements 4 to convert in B&W, enhance contrast and sharpness, crop and frame (thanks again Peter, we appreciate very much this precious software).

This church is more likely to be found in France than in North America. However this beautiful building is right here :-) Beautiful indeed and the details on the facade are clearly seen. The black and white give the image a more dramatic, solemn mood. Nice work Maria do Carmo.

Olá Maria,
I like this b&w picture with its strong difference of light and shadows. The enlighted facade with the good POV really raises the front to heaven and the partly darkness is a good framing.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hola Maria
muy buen trabajo con POV perfecto y encuadre.
la conversion a B&W me parece muy acertadad con bastantes tonos en gris, quizas al convertirla te ha perdido un poco de definicion.
he intenta un WS y al final si he dedicido subirlo
buen trabajo
un saludo
respeto.

Olá Docarmo
Que bela arquitetura, na sua opção de cor muito acertada, por sinal, ela fica com um ar mais imponente e uma imagem mais condizente com seu tempo.
Grande abraço, parabéns!

Maria do Carmo, das igrejas que conheci em Québec esta é uma das minhas favoritas! Adorei o astal da igreja e o lugar onde ela foi construída. Santa Ana, a avó de Jesus, esquecida em muitos lugares e justamente homenageada aqui. Tenho duas fotos dela também: Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupre e Mass.
A versão de sua foto está bastante interessante, parecendo uma foto antiga, uma relíquia. Obrigado por postar!
Abraço,
Zeca

Hi Maria,
Beautiful one, you have composed it very well. The architecture looks like the Cathedral in my city, Jakarta. Framing it well and informative note. Thanks :-)

Maria, my frist impression was a certain deception thinking that the scanning process really destroyed the image, but the longer I look into the image the more I like it. That B&W with the noise gives such an interesting atmosphere to the image. The high contrast between the sunlite and shadows is wonderful and the two white towers straight up into the dark sky is absolutely beautiful. You see, at the end I'm totally enthusiastic with the shot. Yet, this frame is still something I have to get used to (my personal taste).
Regards, Peter

Ciao Maria
foto molto ben composta e dal tuo POV si ammira al 100% la bellissima Cattedrale.
Il B/N rende bene, accentuando il gioco di luci ed ombre.
Forse manca un pò di nitidezza, ma il risultato è ok.
Buon giornata

Hola María,
Bella foto en B/N de la fachada de esta basílica de imponente arquitectura. La definición no es perfecta, pero al ser escaneada ya se sabe...
Cordialmente

Ola Maria,
Gorgeous postcard of the Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré's Basilica. I like the black and white format, how you framed the picture but it seems a litle bit over-exposed. Anyway i like it.
TFS and have a nice week

Hello Maria,
Good 'postcard' photo of this church...I like the b/w colours - it was a great choice here. It gives a kind of mysterious climate. Good composition and interesting POV.
Well done,
Greetings from Poland

Hi Maria,
Wonderful B&W shot. Very well-composed with very nice framing. I love the feeling of a photo that is maybe 40-50 years old. Also an excellent use of the dramatic weather condition. The church looks beautiful agaist the dark clouds in the background. Have a nice weekend!
Cheers,
Ulf
