Good morning! This is a small church about 30 miles from my home, in a rural area and I just love. In fact, that whole area is such a neat place and we ride out there often! It's a huge motorcycle pathway through the countryside. Just thought it would be an appropriate post for Sunday morning.
Hope you all have a grand day and stay cool! It was 99F yesterday and I was in it TOO much!
I processed this with alot of levels work, adding in saturations, clarification and the like, however, this place was just this beautiful when I was there, I just wanted the photo to be as I saw it that day! I made a special stop on my motorcycle to take this pic.

Hi Linda
No doubt often used for social gatherings as I spot a picnic table.
Pretty little church who has me wondering about the windows being green.
Very nicely composed with good results giving us that peaceful look amongst the trees.

Hi Linda,

peace to all...
Excellent image.
I like the composition.
All the best, my good friend.

hi linda.
you are an enigma.

you like metalwork, you ride a bike(probably a hog) yet you take such delicate images.

whatever you are, i don't care. just keep taking these lovely serene pictures.

your friend.

Great place for a Sunday after church picnic under the trees in the Texas "cool". Your PP work paid off - the contrasting light was well handles - the church is perfectly exposed.

Very peaceful view. I too like the way you've mixed and handled the light and shadows here, makes for a very interesting, and fun to look at, photo.
The soft greens and other almost pastel looking colors make the mood here, along with the lighting mentioned above.
Nice work, great composition and very good post work too.
Thanks,
Wilt

Good work on taming the brightness Linda and well composed. You created lovely colours and the shade and light very realistic. 99F sounds like summer where I came from, give me no higher than the 80's we get here :)

PS possibly about 32F here at 530am

What a lovely photo !
Beautiful atmosphere.

I missed this one Linda - a very beautiful scene and well captured.. You seem to have the same problem with the sharpness of the leaves as I do, very difficult to squeeze it all into 200kb's - lot's of detail here..
Nice colour and exposure.
Cheers
David

Hi Linda - There is so much to choose from in your wonderful gallery. I opted for this image because of the peaceful scene of this chalk-white church in its lush green environment under a blue sky dotted with occasional clouds. Your PP work paid off. TFS to Texas from Down Under.
