While traveling in Spain, we had the occasion to see many beautiful cathedrals and churches. I happened to wander to the back courtyard of a church, and caught this presentation of light and shapes. I'd be interested in what the group thinks in regards to whether it should be cropped; it won't fit in a 16x20" frame because it is too high but so was the cathedral. I see this as an illustration for the practical realities that exist behind every church.

Wow, lots of texture, shades and lines.
Hum. What about an 11x14 crop? It might accentuate the triangular roof lines. Just a thought.
Great capture. Always a challenge. Posted: 07/08/2024 16:29:31

Thanks, good idea. I like this. Lauren Posted: 07/08/2024 17:26:24
An interesting set of brick textures in this image, the strong side lighting adds to the textures without creating dark shadows hiding the detail. I feel that it needs some cropping at the top and would probably go a little lower than Becca. Posted: 07/11/2024 14:32:54
I agree with Becca, that's how I would crop the image too. Posted: 07/15/2024 17:38:03
Interesting image, normally not noticed by most people. I do like the cropping and I think some additional contrast/clarity/texture in the mid-tones would help. You could also use a luminosity mask to protect the highlights which are a little bright up top. Posted: 07/24/2024 17:26:19
