~Halifax st. Church~, a photo from South Australia, West

Photographer's Note

This is a church that it situated in Halifax st. in one of the streets of Adelaide's CBD. I took the image when I attended the Glendi Greek Festival. The venue was a good 500 metres from the church. I didn't have a tripod with me. The church steeples stood out so well against the grey sky that I could not resist taking an image.
Cheers,
Debbie

I like the sharpness of the picture and the fine details on the church. The light seem very good but the colours need more saturation. Your perspective and framing of the scene is very good. You managed to use the trees on the sides to isolate the towers well. Thanks Debbie.

Hello Deb,

I like the subject of the church abd the moody skies behind it. The inclusion of the FG is good but I feel that this is overly sharpened. The black frame helps to soften this effect somehow. I think theat the sun's reflection on the twin pannels on the sides of the towers. A good photo.

And the result was this nice picture. You have a good firm hand for telephoto. The tree created a very nice natural frame and the soft colours are very good. Well done.

Hello Debbie,
Very nice view of this lovely church well framed by the trees. Parts of the roofs look a little over-exposed due to the direction of the sun. The architectural detail is well captured and the image has good sharpness.

Very nice framing, Debbie! I like this towers appearing from the green foreground. The sky enhances it all with its darkness. Very nice!

Debbie, a good inclusion of the eucalyptus trees in the foreground to fram the two towers. The thick and dark clouds gives a good backdrop to contrast with the sun ilumminated church.

Hi Debbie, Excellent detail & wonderful light, well composed with the two spires angling in to create a little depth, the sky makes a very good backdrop as it assists the rest to stand out beautifully, also the greenery at the base makes a lovely seat, kind regards Wilson.

Hi Debbie. A fine composition with such a predominance of greys and then the graceful steeples in ivory white.Beautiful shapes too. No wonder you were drawn to them. Regards. Klaudio.

Hello Debbie,
The two towers are nicely framed!
Architecture is captured with fine details, and the angle of light adds life to the structure...
Well composed presentation, fine framing!
