WOW! A majestic view, I am very impressed by the impact in this picture. The perspective is well corrected but maybe you left some pin cushion on the sides. The best parts are however the light, the sepia nad the sky. A doomsday picture, strong!!

A medieval atmosphere. It seems that something terrible must happens. Great picture.

gbac (1933) 2004-06-15 15:21

Ouch quelle ambiance, on se croirait dans le seigneur des anneaux.
Le N&B va parfaitement pour ce genre d'image et je trouve le cadrage très bien.
Bravo Nicolas

Great mysterious frame with great atmosphere, the B/W is great and the composition is very good.

This is a great picture! Well done! Good framing, balance and sharpness in your picture. The choice of a grayscale is much better than your previous colour picture in this abbey.

Superbe!! La perspective, le n/b, le traitement au super ;-), la richesse des tons également. Le résultat est un succès sans appel.

Dommage que cette abbaye soit en ruine mais la photo met bien en valeur son imposante architecture. Cadrage et couleurs très réussis.

Que dire? Parfait.

That's a real refreshment, this photo!
Real artwork thanks to the perfect lighting and exposure/aperture.
Fantastic details and fantastic colour!
BRAVO, Nicolas!

Very impressive. The contrast is great. The textures really stand out strong and the space is very 3 dimensional. Your treatment of the photographed really gave it a spooky feel. It has a strong power to it. A kingly power. Like some kind of great spirit resided here and perhaps still does. Excellent job. And again, I love the textures of the columns and stonework in general. So strong and tactile.

Superbe teinte, me fait penser à un décor de film, magnifique

vbourrut (32482) 2004-06-16 14:29

belle ambiance et atmoshpère, on se croirait presque dans les décors d'un jeux vidéo FPS !!! ;-)

Great mystery room - as if from high quality gothic computer game :) Is the sky added?

bazal (7900) 2004-06-17 9:57

Superbe ! que dire de plus ? En premier lieu, le rendu NB-sépia est magnifique et s'adapte merveilleusement au sujet. Ensuite, les textures des différents ensembles architecturaux sont extrêmement bien rendus. Les conditions de lumière devaient-etre elles aussi optimales lors de la prise de vue. Seul petit défaut à mon goût, la composition est un tout petit peu déséquilibrée par un cadrage imparfait, mais bon, c'est bien pour trouver un défaut ! Félicitations !!!

Apparemment, une photo prise dans les années 1300, voire 1400.. vous étiez déjà né ? ;-)
Superbe ambiance, un beau travail sur cette photo, bravo.

erthmuffin (1551) 2004-06-18 12:11

wow this is great! i love the tones, and the sky is so eerie! the textures of the walls are wonderful.

i wish you would have written a note to understand what this is, and why it looks so creepy!

cheers!

bfly (5775) 2004-06-20 18:26

excellant...thanks..

Rhiannon (1728) 2004-06-23 7:23

Wow! The details and contrasts in this is excellent!
Very impressive shot of this impressive ruin.
The sky is fantastic and I like the mysticism and threat in this picture.
It is a bit spooky, but yet beautiful.
Great job!

On dirait une gravure issue d'un vieux livre qui faut manipuler avec précaution.
Va bene !

words are not for this picture. very impressive

paido (944) 2005-03-14 22:09

Great! I can't say I agree with the theme "A journey on Middle Earth" though... but your picture isn't any less impressive.

I especially like the grain of the picture. The contrast are well made.

This picture is much better that the referenced "San Galgano"

Hi Nicolas,
I know this place and I like it. You B&W picture capture the magic and mysterious atmosphere of that incredible church.

What a fun, dark, gorgeous photo, Nicolas. A featured photo today on TE homepage! Fantastic tones and wonderful perspective. I'm glad you corrected it in this instance.

starbug (6924) 2005-07-04 7:15

I'm almost out of words...the most sombre, enigmatic, and powerful image I've seen for a long time...absolutely superb, I'm so glad I can see it here...

Simply superb. very good decision to present this in monotone. Fantastic place.

Salam Nicolas,

I agree with Zanni, it looks like something really terrible happened there :O the b/w worked nicely, the texture & the details are quite unusually beautiful, but the way you presented this place is amazing, it have this mysteries sense as we all can see, plus it is powerfully dramatic. Like your work. TFS
