[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
We are still at this small village at the bank of Fjaerlandsfjord. This is a small Lutheran chapel with a graveyard.
I had some difficulties with this capture, because it was hard to find a POV with the inclusion of the whole building and the beautiful background landscape. On the other hand, weather was cloudy, light conditions were poor and it also rained a little bit.

Hi Kristof
Wonderful capture and place
Great clarity and details
Thanks
Burak

Nice scene Kristof and well composed with the tombstones leading the eye into the picture. I don't think that the sun shines too much in Norway anyway LOL...

Cheers
David

Beautiful looking building Kristof, love the design. And what a remarkable backdrop you've been blessed with, the height puts it into perspective. Perfect POV to see the entire length of the building and also allows us to see the gravestones and even a small part of the river to the right. Very sharp details.

TFS,
Scott.

Hello Kristof! Interesting church and cemetery. Nice natural light and colours. Good composition. Well done!

Well I think you did well with the POV here, showing the gravestones in the foreground, amazing colours.. and good sharpness.

I am impressed with the well kept lawn... if you see a recent upload of mine.. the graves in England are not like this.

Thanks for sharing.
Regards
Dawn

Hi Kristof,

I like close view of the chapel with the hills in the background and graveyard in the FG, good angle and colors. Good sharpness and DOF as well.

Have a nice week,

Stasa

Hi Kristof
I think that cemeteries have a great appeal on photographers. it is indeed a great view. the headstones and the chapel make a fantastic image including deep atmosphere.
this is a wonderful presentation for its colors and composition.
well done

Yes too bad about the overcast weather and the less-than-great sky, but still a great shot. Love the headstones in the foreground as lead-in, with the interesting church, and mountains behind. Great capture Kristof.
Trudy

Yes, it's hard shooting tall things like this! I gotta drag out the wide angle and sometimes move closer and shoot UP..which is a nightmare when it's glary like this! Good job on the available light!

Hello Kristof.
Church here reminds me pictures from Iceland.
Iceland = Skandynavia
Norway is Skandynavia as well so everything is ok ;)
Good composition my friend.
