Bonjour Annie
Magnifique présentation pour le thème d'aujourd'hui, je crois que ces
vestiges entre bien dans la catégorie de vieux bâtiments. Le sepia est
très bien rendu, superbe composition d'image avec ce beau ciel.
Bonne journée

Hi Annie
I was realy struck by the beauty of this sepia capture of the temple. The en face POV gives a power and gravity to the remains and the feeling is awe and wonder for those constructions

Hello Annie,

Your pov is excellent and draws the eyes into the shot. I like the detail of the stonework, particularly on the floor. It makes you want to walk on it!
The light is good and creates interesting light and shade!

What an interesting place!
I would certainly like to visit this!

Kind regards,

La transformation en sepia donne toute sa valeur est ces vieilles ruines
dans une composition parfaitement réalisée. L'ajout de contraste et de netteté étaient effectivement judicieux. Bien vu.

Bonsoir Annie,
tout semble sorti d'une carte postale ancienne. Le contraste ajouté fait ressortir les détails des vestiges.
Combien de pas ont foulé ces pierres avant de devenir que souvenirs d'une civilisation perdue ?
Bravo pour ton travail soigné avec PS CS3 et merci pour ta note

Bonjour Annie,
Très jolie image. Voila un avant-plan qui donne à ta composition tout son sens ,en effet Les dalles de pierres alignées semblent 'converger ' tout en longueur(la profondeur de champs y est excellente pour la perspective ici) et guident l'oeil vers la 2ième partie de la scène ou se situent les temples qui sont à leur tour joliement et nettement découpés sur fond de ciel intéressant la ràgle des tiers étant respectée en tout point. Ayant visité ce site en 97 je n'ai que peu de photos dignes d'être vues sur ce site et puis elles devront passer dans le 'scanner'ce qui ne m'emballe pas beaucoup car la qualité hum hum .. .Merçi de partager celle-ci avec nous ,
Amicalement ,Carol

C'est là une excellente idée de présenter ce temps comme contribution au thème de cette semaine. Il t'a fallu fouiller dans tes souvenirs mais ça valait la peine. Belle prise de vue et absemce de touriste.Il faut dire qu'en mars, il n'y a pas foule.La présentation sépia est très bien réussie. J,adore les vieilles pierres.

Bonjour Annie,

This is probably as old as you can get. What a lovely composition with the 3 temples in different conditions standing next to each other. Using standard sepia function gives me a greenish brown - I love how you mixed the colour.

A fitting choice for the sepia, Annie, and an interesting change of place -- from the coast of Quebec to the shores of Africa! Wonderful lighting and sky here, and a fine presentation of form. And, of course, an interesting and informative note, as usual. Thanks for sharing.

Would you have done it in sepia, were it not for the theme? I think we do not use it often enough: there is great charm and a wonderfully nostalgic patina in sepia pictures. When I draw, I almost always see my creations in shades of brown rather than b/w.
Great view and interesting textures ... the ancient form of lego ......

Hello Annie,

This is a lovely presentation of the old ruins!
The post processing works well to enhance the atmosphere, the point of view is effective resulting in strong lead-in lines...
Sharp fine details and a good 3-D effect!

In general, I'm not too fond of sepia photos - unless they're genuinly old, Annie. But this is an exception. The monochrome approach lets us focus on the buildings and their structure, not on their colours. Which is good... Taken at the correct time of day, I think... the shades are rare, but where they appear they enhance the definition of the rest.
Nice work. TFS
