A lovely tranquil scene.
Well taken. You've chosen a good photo to work with in black & white.
I love the softness of the image created by the mist and sunlight.

Capturing fog/mist/light in this way is something I find very tricky to do properly - you have managed it very well indeed, this is a lovely atmospheric shot with great contrasts. Good one!

Cordelia, this is fantastic. One of the finest. The sunburst (sort of) is so perfect that it takes me right to the enchanted forest. Looks like at any moment the princess of the elves will come floating out ...
Nothing to say about the PP except that it is perfect. Wish I had ten points to give.

An excellent choice Cordelia. I love the tones and contrasts through out. The light and mist just make this so mysterious looking. Excellent work and great contribution to the theme.

Bonjour Cordelia,
Tu as su faire le bon choix de photo pour la convertir en B & W . Tu as su bien calibré les contrastes et les nuances entre les tons variés de noir et de gris . L'effet visuel est très réussi et la photo dégage un atmosphère saisissant.

I agree with your note Cordelia, it is a very difficult and challenging theme this one; you however have made it a very interesting one; this image is simply stunning!
Very moody, tranquil and with great lighting.

Very well done, Gary

You wouldn't guess just from looking at it that the scene is from an art gallery in the centre of a national capital city. That's part of the mystery you've been able to achieve. It's one of your best pictures. I like the thirds - the grass in the front, the fog in the middle and the dark canopy above, but with each layer revealing interesting variations. One could look at it for hours.
Excellent stuff!

Hello Cordelia!
It's right now that we have fogs and mists like that. You've managed very good capture of light protruding through the trees. B/w is a good choice.
Greetings!

A mysterious and eye catching b&w shot. The light through the trees works really well and you've captured the fog perfectly. Great stuff!

An excellent image Cordelia. The PP work brought out the best of teh rays and the mist. Good foreground detail and lovely semi silhouettes. That garden must be a reasonably new addition or perhaps teh National Gallery wasn't there when I was. TFS,
David

Many thanks for your comment on ‘Holy Trinity - old building sepia’

Hi Cordelia !
the light looks really special.
I like the light rays.
I'm thinking the colour version looks interesting too..?
Perhaps you could have posted it as a WS (if available :-))

Anyway, well done.
Best regards, Daniel
