La Chine a sa Grande Muraille 3000 km, la France a sa Petite Muraille 5000 cm
Dans l’arrière pays Niçois, sur la route du col de Turini au détour d’un lacet surgit cette chapelle romane Notre Dame de la Ménour.
Perchée sur un piton rocheux elle est reliée à la route par un immense escalier. Sa façade fut refaite au
XVIè siècle. Les habitants du village du Moulinet viennent y entendre la messe le 8 septembre à Pâques et à la Pentecôte.

Contrast & Brightness
Edited by:greecelightning Gold Star Critiquer/Silver Workshop Editor/Silver Note Writer [C: 80 W: 10 N: 21] (284)
I simply played with the brightness and contrast a little bit. Hope you don't mind!
Since the sky is on the verge of being too bright, we need to decrease the brightness if we are going to increase the contrast. Increasing the contrast without decreasing brightness would cause the sky to be too bright. Doing this also results in the tree (foreground) to become darker. Since the tree's details are not very important to the picture (as the focus is on the wall and the colored building) it actually works to intensify the focus on the picture's main subject.
What do you think?
