 ----thanks for the comments.

for the record, this scene was behind a locked gate along a main route... which was frustrating. this site has been open for years.

i had to slide my lens between a hole in the fence and I couldn't control the grasses; and there wasn't much wind to change the direction. but i like what came out of it.

Wheat and why they came.

I'm glad you couldn't control the grasses, the gold in the grass really brings out the gold on the building, and they make the building look less contrived. Lovely shot.

That's an amazing church. I like the grass in front, the golden stalks tie in with the gold domes.

Very eclectic. I like the exposure and mixture of two very different imagery.

Seems so out of place, almost apocalyptic in a way.
I do like the grass/wheat blowing across the frame the way it is.
The Gold of the field and the sprires on the church are a nice balance.

nice job...I drive by this church all the time...have thought of shooting it, really like what you have donw..the hay/gold on the building really pick one another up well...
congrats on the top 20!

This is wonderful. The yellow wheat and golden steeple really bring this image together, and the clouds are magnificent. In my personal opinion, I would have moved the picture so that the church was being framed by the wheat.

grains and clouds give tremendous depth of field to exaggerate mass of building

Knew it was Cathedral town ;-) Really nice shot, knowing the site i know you would have got a much more impressive shot from inside the gate... Nice job, and congrats on the placing!

exceptional clarity! Great work!

Very cool subject. The grass in the front is a bit distracting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 07/30/2006 09:37:43 PM
I would of preferred it if you had of taken the photo from a little higher so that the storks weren't in front of that beautiful building!

 07/29/2006 01:53:37 PM
Well done. I like the separation top to bottom. bump

I love the composition and DOF of this shot. The dark brooding sky doesn't hurt either. This is a winner IMHO. 10

I like the structure - nice architecture and the gold tops fit it into the challenge. The foreground weeds however are distracting - I would suggest a reshoot with them pulled out of the way
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 07/26/2006 04:37:03 PM
love it... great colors, choice of subject, composition... but i really think you should have just removed those two grasses that obscure the chruch!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

An intriguing and captivating picture to look at.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 07/26/2006 08:40:30 AM
interesting point of view...I find the grasses in front of the church a bit distracting, perhaps you could have pulled them out...

I like the framing, its beautiful !

Hey man thats my church! Great shot. I like your POV well done
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 07/24/2006 06:37:40 PM
Beautiful shot. I think the one tall stalk that comes up through the house could have been taken out. However It does not lower the score for me. I really like it. 10

haha, Cathedral Town outside of Toronto? I wanted to stop and take a look around last time i was up at fletchers fields, but didn't have the time or the energy. If It's not, it looks AMAZINGLY like it! lol,kinda sticks out in the middle of nowhere eh?

Very very nice - My only small and personal distraction is the road on the left - If you had just dropped down a fraction more it would have gone - But lovely composition

Great comopozition and nicely fits for the challeenge. Also like that golden coupols on grey sky. Two remarks...personaly i find that grass on church distracting and maybe also the closest lamp. Anyway pretty good.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 07/24/2006 12:34:03 PM
Wow! Stunning! I think the two wheat stalks are a little in the way. I'm sure you made it that way on purpose. This is just my personal preference. It is one of my favorites from this challenge!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 07/24/2006 11:01:02 AM
Those gold tops look very cool against that dark sky. The foreground grass almost gets to be too much though, it starts to make this very good photo a little busy.
