Thanks fore all comment on this photo, I know that it is not the usual photo in a travel guide but I just could not resist sending this one
Mabe it would be interesting to someone in a travel guide :)
In this case, for a travel guide I'd have preferred it colored and not B/W, though I agree that the shape by itself is quite interesting and gets more weight in B/W.
i can only assume it's appreciate your church week in iceland - there are loads of the buggers this week. it's very dramatic and gothicesque though - i think the B&W works well and i love the light cast on the tower. the sky is very ominous and powerful, though the halo around the top of the tower reduces the impact a little bit. i wonder how it would look more landscaped in orientation though - one can't help think that the dreaded rule-of-thirds might be a viable thing here... it's still very captivating though - kind of film-noir esque hammer horror type thing (half expect lightning bolts and a powerful score to accompany the picture - sequal to van helsing or similar could be filmed here). excellent lighting. 9.
Forbidding. Don't like the halo-ing effect around the top of the thing - if it's from burning or selection I'd have found a gentler feathering of it less 'processed'. Good textures lower down, composition fine. Too heavyweight for this challenge? We'll see what folks think - I suspect they're looking for stuff more like advertising than documentary.
I like the composition of this photo, but it's like the outline and the bright sunlit part of the church is overburnt. If this would be in a travelling book, the title "tower of terror" would fit better - the beautiful church looks a bit scary and spooky like this. Over all I think this is a good photo, good luck!
Hmmm... who do we know that lives in Iceland and loves to take pictures with clouds in the sky??? Great shot. Perhaps just a tad over sharpened (or burned) with the halo around the building, but otherwise very good. Good luck in the challenge!
