Challenge: Holy Places (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Olympus FE-100
Location: Johnsonburg, NJ
Date: May 5, 2006
Date Uploaded: May 5, 2006

Slight Gaussian blur, unmask, level ... the main goal was to create a "trinity" and make sure the sign on the tree (St. Francis saying, "Preach the Gospel at all times, if necessary, use words") was readable.

This is the outdoor chapel where I proposed to my wife many years ago!

Great shot. I would bring it down a little, but that's me...

Beautiful choice for the challenge. The slight overexposure actually kind of adds to the "lightness" of the holy place.

Exposure is a litle bruight for my taste, but I like the image and the setting.

hmmm, looks like a Boy Scout ranch I have been to before. Cool picture, I was wondering when I would see an outdoor sanctuary.

I am a pastor and preached in a church like this in a rural area in Kenya...it was called the church under the thorn tree and it was one of the most amazing preaching experiences I have had...thanks for reminding me that church is who we are not the building

Nice place, but too many compression artifacts on your image

I like the idea and the framing is almost good : the bottom right corner should not have cropped the bench, (imho) Its a bit over exposured, and the cross is not enough visible.

Interesting wilderness place of worship, I like the composition very much and will absorb the blown out spots as angel wings fluttering.

Interesting area. Photo is over exposed and not quite in focus though.

A potentially great image and what a marvellous place of worship - deep in the trees. Here the overall focus looks rather soft without there being one single thing in sharp enough focus to be the subject. The exposure is also a bit too bright meaning that the contrast is not as good as it could be.

Seems overexposed to me...

Seems over-exposed, but might have been very intersting otherwise (and maybe in a duotone?)

Seems a little overexposed. Like the composition though.
