[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a mission in Taos, New Mexico. It has become famous for being painted by the artist Georgia O'Keefe. I ended up taking this particular POV in trying to avoid some ugly electric lines that were in the way:)

PP: scanned from an archived 35mm shot, converted to 90% sepia, adjusted levels and contrasts, resized, added border.

Artistic, unique POV here Karen,
Very impressive capture. There's a great mood to this shot.
I like that you can make out the texture of the building.
The cross againast the sky is very dramatic and powerful.
Great post.

HI Karen
The angle of the shot to show the cross against the sky was perfect, putting the cross in evidence but also showing us the architecture.
Beautiful capture.
Dot

love the angle you have taken, really dynamic and moody with it...TFS

Good work here Karen, an excellent contrbution to the Friday's Theme .Remember Taos for having visited long ago before the digital era and taken the shots on film in fact i have delayed any upload because of the poorer quality of scanning but it is not the case here though. Well done,
Carol

Hi Karen

This works well in sepia with the sky giving an extra dimension

well done and regards from Liverpool 08

Hi Karen
the interesting building curiously presented, clouds and colours toned down are adding the charm to the whole - I am greeting.

Hello Karen,

Your pov is so well placed!
It feels like climbing a mountain to reach the cross - how important is that! And then above it is that dramatic sky!
This is very cleverly composed, my friend!
Well done!

kind regards,
Bev :-)

A nice contribution to that theme.This is a very interesting close-up/POV.I always find the texture of those old missions walls so weird.They make me think of a chocolate cake without any creamy dressing...(I mean in sepia pictures!,especially the old ones...).TFS

Hi Karen,
Wonderful photo! I like the tight crop on the wall of this church! The sepia tones are rich and kept all textures. Very impressive presentation! Bravo! Annie

Wow, this one just reminded me of another shot I had that I could have dug up for this...;-( Very nice! Interesting POV and a creative composition.

Yea, this looks more like Sepia that your previous. Good sselection of shooting angle Karen. Scans can look a bit soft, but not here - started with a good image. Cheers

Dan

hello Karen

I find interesting your point of view and the close frame on the building isolation just what you wanted to show us

regards

jjo
