Prayer, a photo from Ile-de-France, North

Photographer's Note

I just got my new 10-20 zoom and met some ex TE members (Marietom, Morac, Clio and Lacroux) for a full day in Paris.
Come very close with this lens to capture the essence of the inside of a Paris church.

Salut Claude,
et bien! Encore du détournement de 10-20! j'aime bien ça!...Bon je vois l’idée et le potentiel ici mais je suis un peu moins convaincu par le résultat. J'aime bien le visage de la fille pris dans la lumière et cette couleur dorée mais la compo me semble un peu déséquilibrée avec cette masse sombre devant (en même temps avec une 10-20!!) et un format un peu 'exotique'. Et puis la netteté pourrait être meilleure (1/20 à main levée?)

Salut Claude,
I like this image, espacially the compo with the huge two-dimnesional, painted dream-like pattern, the girl with shut eyes and the deep darkness everywhere. Forget about technical aspects if you can create such an expressive photo! Thanks for sharing.

Hi Claude
Capturing a moment in quiet comtemplative prayer is a great challange under this circumstances, but I like this a lot as it gives a sense of calm and solitude. This is a little glimpse of one side of the church nicely balanced subdued light/dark with just enough detail to give the eye something to fill in. The glow of soft warmlight of her face and the walls attracted the eyes and the mixture of light has a very serene atmosphere and mood and I feel this adds to the emotional impact of the picture. You have captured the moment well and really get the feel of the situation and the colour is great but it's the glow that does it. Putting religious feelings, technicality and beliefs to one side, this is a heart warming image and so full of atmosphere. You have produced a delightful image. Well done, TFS
Best regards
