Hi Pablo,
The sinister mood is conveyed perfectly, perhaps because of the very interesting, low POV and of course the high contrast values, with the church being almost completely dark, against the bright sky.
By the way, I like the "split" sky effect, the left part being more bright and the right part being darker and more saturated.
Good work!

Hi Pablo- your photo definetly caught the mood you were trying to- the colors and lighting just enhance the effect- very good timing with the some sunlight contrasting the menacing clouds. Well done!

Best Wishes,
Steve

It is a quite sinsiter mode. From a horror movie. Something can happen at any time .....
I love the clouds. Stunning.

The sinister is not conveyed. But serenity was. That God is at work. Even darkness came :D. At least thats what gave me the impression.

Hi Pablo

Fantastic graphism, with excellent color, lighting, & sharpness. I like the strong silhouette of the church, & the almost lithographic representation. Good work!

Hello Pablo,

I love this moody shot. Good exposure, silhouette, and frame. The image would be appropriate as a poster for a scary movie.

Hi Pablo,
Nice moody picture. I don't know whether it is sinister or spiritual (by the way I am not a Christian so I am not influenced by any way).
Good pic.

Hi Pablo,

Lovely composition and fantastic atmosphere!
I like the way the dark silhouettes contrast to the blue/grey sky. The solitude and threatening mood have definately been captured in your photo!
Very well done!

Hi Pablo.
Nice composition. Beautiful silhouettes and dramatic sky in the background. I also like very low horizon line.
I would crop a little bit from the left to rid of the tree next to the edge, but it is just my opinion. Alla.

Hello Pablo, well I like very much the contrast of the blue sky and the sharp silhouette of the church and trees. Sorry I don't feel the sinister mood, on the contrary... I feel it is a very pleasant view. TFS, Gabriel

Hello Pablo, amazing, I was just looking now to your picture, and I just posted also a church,

very nice picture, I always like the picture with only some colours and the silhouets or shadows!

• ajnviper (932)
• [2006-03-06 10:08]

It is a strong church standing against these dark clouds. Maybe the roles should have been reversed with the church well lit against the dark clouds. Great mood photo!
The reflection in the window makes it look like the church has eyes!

Spatial balance and weight of the primary elements in your composition are a bit off here, Pablo. The trees extend to the top of the frame line (crowding it) leading the viewer's eyes from there to a downward slope right, following the roof slants of the church to the bottom right corner. It might work if you were creating a commercial image and intentionally leaving copy room in the top right of frame. If the church steeple extended higher into the frame, and the tree lines fell below the church roof line, you might have a more interesting composition with a better circular "flow" for the eyes. I understand the "mood" your were going for - perhaps next time you could select a better vantage point that will afford you a more "balanced" composition. - green smiley to follow, pablo. BTW, Pablo, I've worked with many art directors in my commercial career and encountered the same problem, so I hope you're not offended by the critique. Also, it's nothing that a little PP time couldn't fix.

Hi Pablo,
yes, youi conveyed the mood of the place very well. I feel like I was there looking at it instead of you. I like the compo and the color transition on the sky - from light grey on the left to deep blue on the right. Really good work! tfs

I really like the lighting in this photo. It looks luminous and the dark silhouette of the bare tree branches is excellent against the sky. The Church has nice architecture also which looks good in silhouette. It is very nice 'mood' shot. TFS.
Thanks for visiting my photo

To me the mood is not sinister but pleasant quieteness at the end of the day. The composition on this all silhoutted subject is beautiful. Cisp and shap lines on your silhouetted subjects.

Excellent shot, as usual. Very nice balance of colors, somewhat lighter skies and dark slihouettes. What I like the most here is a window in the church, which has a much brighter color then the church itself. Very nice job!

Hello Pablo,

This is very, very good work. The excellent silhouette of trees and Church against the lighter BG of clouds makes for a very moody scene indeed. The dimly lit (presumably natural light) Church window adds to the image. Congratulations and best wishes.

Have a happy and safe Easter

Hi Pablo - I love the juxtaposition of the chiselled-out branchwork of the trees next to the clumsy body of the church. The silhouette of the crosses on the roof is good, too. TFS.
Happy Easter Monday.

The silhoutte of this Church is really interesting and fuly conveyes the mood. The dry tree aside is adding up some mystry. Variation of light has been managed nicely in this shot.

Thanks for sharing an other angle of scenary after having a look at day light sight.

A great post!
