Hi Bryan,
I like this mysterious composition of this shabby abbey (haha:)). The ruins and the dark clouds make the picture dramatic, but the enlightment of the green grass gives some freshness to the composition. Great job, TFS!
Best regards,
Kristof

Hi Bryan,

Thought you get a photo up before me this is a good shot of the Abbey I particularly like the sky well done.

Regards
Jon

That's a wonderful place, Bryan, I love the ruin of this Abbey with all the green grass and the dark clouds. A special atmosphere, that's beautiful. I visited such a church also in Italy, also without top in free nature, there I was closer to god that in every other pompoulsy church!!!
Thanks, fantastic

Hi Bryan - not a bad day in the north it seems.. This is a nice view, and the exposure seems good.
What a great dramatic sky - if anything I'd rotate the camera up and have less of the grass and more of that sky (and skeletal tree).
Cheers
David

Nicely done my friend. I love that clarify tool in PSP, it realy does allow you to change the character of a shot with very little effort - I use it regularly.

Hi Bryan,

Lovely shot of a lovely building, you have really brought out the warmth of the stone.

Great effect with the hdr treatment Bryan. This shot has much more visual impact in winter without the leaves on the trees than it would have done in the summer months.

Congrats
Bryan

What a great shot of the wonderful architecture. The place looks mysterious to me. Great sky and clouds background and the green grass foreground is fantastic!

Hello Bryan.
Thanks for the interesting story.
Good looking picture of the ruin, a bit more sharpness would heve done good to it.
Cheers, Jan

Hi Bryan,
A beautiful location, with a mysterious air about it. Lve the greens and sahdes of grey.
Regards,
Subashini

I like the light and shadow. I also like the direction of the light and pov and composition. I think a longer dof would have brought out the beauty of the stonework but a lovely picture. Good job. TFS
warm regards
David
