Behind the church, a photo from Quebec, Central

Photographer's Note

An excerpt from the Frelighsburg website:
"Who would have thought that this little piece of land at the foot of Mont Pinacle, sporadically occupied by American Indians during the first half of the l8th century and called “Slab City” for many years, would have become the seductive Frelighsburg we know today"
frelighsburg

It was, as you can see, a cloudy day, a storm was building up, a perfect weather condition to pay a visit to this cemetery and read the names and dates on the graves and thus learn about the first people who lived and died there.
This will part of my new theme "village churches" which could very well included small minarets, temples, synagogue, etc.

It's sharp and well captured despite the bad weather. Very good colors for such a day, with a lot of mood. Well done, Nina.

I doubt that this same view taken in bright sunshine would show the colours of the church and of the gravestones as well as this does. The picture is sharp and the V formed by the gravestones is a strength of the composition.

Très bonne netteté, le ciel nuageux convient à cette ambiance "tristounette" digne d'un cimetière.
Vous était t'il possible de filtrer en dégradé gris la partie droite du ciel ?

Beautiful composition Nina. The colours of the church are amazing. Exellent textures of the roof and the wall of the church. Very clear pic with a lot of interesting elements. You have done a good arrangement of the elements. Good shot.

Superbe photo, Nina. Autour de Paris nous n'avons pas vu le soleil depuis au moins 15 jours, et je rage de ne pas savoir tirer aussi bon parti d'un ciel nuageux.
La composition est soignée, chaque chose est à sa place et sur son plan. Et je partage l'avis de Martin concernant les couleurs de l'église, qui bénéficient sans doute de cette lumière. Bravo !

Il s'agit là d'une superbe photo.
La composition est extrèmement dynamique car chacun des éléménts qui la composent renvoi vers l'élémént suivant ou précédent. De plus le plan vert du gazon est agréablement rythmé par les différentes vertivales (pierres tombales, arbres, flèche de l'église).
Enfin il faut souligner la parfaite harmonie des tons gris du toit de l'église, de la flèche et du ciel.
Très belle netteté de l'ensemble.
Une belle photo, très équilibrée.

Crisp sharp and clear. Very nice image. I like the positioning of the chuch, the red against the green, and the jumble of tombstones.

Very nice composition. Good technique. Bravo.

Just idyllic. The composition is beautiful: simple and appropriate for your subject. I like the way the clouds cap your picture. The graves created a sence of tranquility for this beautiful shot. Thanks for sharing this to us.

Fantastic composition! It's like a postcard. Besides the colors, details and composition one of the things I like the most is the contrast of the serenity around the church against the stormy sky.

About your frame I think it would be nice to put a thin line (black or grey) between the photo and the white frame itself because it merges into the sky.
