Hello Achim,
A good capture of this rather unusual looking church. Well chosen point of view with good colours and sharpness.

jhm (178982) 2010-07-23 4:34

Hello Achim,

Sharpness and presentation are very well.
My question, use you HDR for this picture, through the dark blue color of the sky.
When you not use HDR than would I little bit more give clarity.
You place the church perfect, I look at with a lot pleasure. .
Depth and perspective are wonderful..
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice weekend,
John

Hi Achim,

The trees are framing well the church. The cormer point of view is allowing me to see the details and colors of the architecture of two sides of the church. The late afternoon light is enhancing the colors. Have a nice day.

This is a good shot of this unusual church. Your composition is great showing the church from an angle that creates depth and direction. The lighting and colors are great and the photo has excellent sharpness.

Bonjour Achim,
Cette église a beaucoup de présence dans cette photo. J'aime le relief obtenu par la double perspective et le jeu de la lumière et des ombres.
Amicalement

Hi Mr President
Good position showing the architecture volume
But the highlights gave a lower exposition, but it's giving an interesting effect.

Hello Achim,

Astonishing and original architecture for this church. I see a staircase on the left which, probably, reaches the flat roof. A beautiful presentation of the church with a light and pleasant contrasts of colors. Interesting glance, thank you Achim.

With all my friendships and an excellent week,

Jean-Charles
