i agree w/ Mike -- this is a quite thought provoking image! all sorts of lighting here -- bright whites, dull grays, velvet blacks... and from the choice of composition, you have made that small partial cement fence in the foreground a quite powerful object indeed, while the church slips quietly away into the background! intriguing and enigmatic! :)

@dj.tigersprout: well thanks. to tell you the truth, this church has bugged me for some time. i see it several times a year when i go to this little town for their flea market, but never managed to get a shot i liked. this one's as close as i've come.

Super capture, the lighting is excellent, and the tones in the image are very well thought out. The big concrete fence is intriguing, as its the main focus, but the church behind is still very much in view because of its brightness. Very good work.
