wow, super coool, looks fantastic!!!! :=)

good pov

Etrange... J'ai du mal croire qu'il n'y a pas un peu de postwork ici... En tout cas le rultat est sympa (me si il y a beaucoup beaucoup trop de gammas... c'est l'influence Delmurienne, cette tendance aux gammas ev? ;-)

Lovely view of the Abbey. Great shot!

Hello!Superb and magnificent capture!I love this wonderful view of the splendid and ancient abbey with this amazing shot across the arc!the light and the brightness are super!You have a extraordinary artistic eye Michel!Well done!My compliments!V!I wish you a wonderful sunday!Hugs!

Du moment que ce n'est pas des gammas gt! Elle est tr jolie ta photo. A plus et bonne journ.

superbe ! bon dimanche !

@pimbotin : indeed Philippe, some postwork here : the arch was very dark and so, it was an interesting picture to put in practice what nathalie06 teached me when she was in Belgium (Thank you once more, Nathalie, for sharing your PS expertise !) Regarding gamma level, I just edited the picture and corrected it with PhotoFiltre 6.1, applying a factor 0,70 ! For me it indeed looks better now and for you ? (sorry for the first viewers...) May be "professor Pimbo" could give me/us a "lesson" about gamma saturation in the Forum ? or in your gallery ? Anyway, thank you very much, dear Philippe, for your interesting and constructive comment ! Enjoy the rest of your week-end ! Bien amicalement :~)

Quant l'inflence "delmurienne", je prends pour un compliment/encouragement : j'aimerais bien faire d'aussi belles photos que Jean-Pierre.... ;~)

Excellente shot Michel ! Bon pov ! Un gros "10" comme effort pour le "Post work"! PS: J'ai bien hate que Nathalie revienne de vacance! Elle me manque beaucoup cette mutuelle amie ! Bon dimanche !

Yeah, good old film can record the high contrasts between the sky and the dark arch better, and to get it on screen more as we actually perceived it there's no other way than to adjust gamma's. However, the results are clearly visible here and I had the same feeling as Philippe (there's an unnatural transition between the arch and the sky). To prevent these things from happening a fill-in flash could be helpful. Wonderful work anyway, Michel! :)

great shot using the archway as a partial frame..

Ohhh ...I love looking out from beneath the stones like this!! The stones have such a wonderful texture and that jagged edge is very interesting also! A beautiful scene and excellent postwork on this!! It didn't look unnatural to me at all Michel.. to have some of that sunny day filtering into the entrance way! I think you did beautifully!! :-) Excellent!

Like the way you have captured this old ruin.. excellent pov.

C'est nettement mieux!!!

Mais c'est quoi toujours ces histoires de gammas ,ev? 4 ans de photoshop, jamais pris le chou avec un truc pareil, quand je prends en photo les wc ,on voit clair jusque dans le trou!Bellephoto!( aux gammas ev certes !!!!!!!!!)

Very cool shot Michel! I love the compo here, with the wall as a natural frame! Very well seen!!

Wonderful framing a stunning image.Beautiful!!!!!!!!!

Le soleil brille et les ombres sont ports....... Je ne suis pas fan de la voute !!!!

Me si je connais tr bien cet endroit, il reste un de mes favoris de notre rion. J'aime beaucoup le contraste entre la lumie et l'ombre de l'arrie plan. Tu as retravailler les pierres l'avant-plan? Belle journ mon papa.

Beautifully done!!

Love the archway framing.

Tu as drement bien fait de la retravailler cette photo et d'laircir l'arche, elle est parfaite comme , et tr naturelle. Je n'ai jamais touchaux gammas de mes photos, et comme toi je serais curieuse de savoir ce que fait ! Et donc c'ait toi le Chevalier qui arrivait au galop par cette porte ???? Lol ! Bisous Michel !

Wonderful!
