The altar

I wanted to play with shadows on this image so has been processed this way. It could have been all processed light as I had the shots, but I preferred this more "gothic" look :)

Re: The altar

You've certainly succeeded with the look you were after and I think the result is great

Re: The altar

Some of your Goth. Stuff is a bit too dark for me but I really like this one.
Think it's the really uplifting light in the middle and your interesting use of arches and posts in the composition, boy done good!

Re: The altar

thanks Bo, I know some of my darker stuff isn't for all, but glad you liked this one

Re: The altar

It's certainly a very interesting shot mate, made more so by your excellent processing

Re: The altar

You know I normally love your gothic work, but on this one I find the foreground darkness too errrm, dark and I find it a barrier to seeing the bright inside, if you know what I mean. The deep shadow on the floor doesn't work for me, so I think shaving a bit off top and bottom gets you into the action a bit better and perversely makes the brighter textured walls more visible. But it's the look you were after, so that was achieved and you can't please all of us all of the time.

Re: The altar

Very nice Ian. At this rate you will make a very good living by giving lectures on processing of photographs!!!!!!!

Re: The altar

Very nice Ian. The gothic look very much suits this shot.
