Fab lighting Mel.

Very nice Mel I like the glow in the windows and the cloud formation,wher have all the people gone ??

Thanks Hans. All the tourists go have their evening meals…..although there was still one busload and a few britz vans full hanging around, they spread out a bit though, so I was able to snap between them.

Lucky you Mel..

Moody!!!! The lighting is just divine!!! well done Mel!

Great Image – Lighting is fantastic – wish I could have been there!

Thanks for your comment, Zoom!

you have done a great job with the lighting, and it looks fabulous when a frame is added (buy now). I would really like to see it in B&W.

Love this shot! wow, the way you caught the sunset through the church windows adds a warm feel to this picture

It’s all been said. Amen!!

Thanks for your lovely comments, Tim, imageworld and Ozcloggie. Thanks also to the lovely person who bought this as a card, I hope that you are very happy with it!!

Gorgeous shot Mel. The lighting made to order! Sometimes we are where we should be. It makes up for the many days when when we are not.

imagination!

Thanks mick and noiseart

Another fabulous picture Mel, it looks like the church cleared a path through the clouds when it landed.. lol

Yes, very nice, very nice….this is an amazing image of one of the most amazing places in the world :)

Thanks Roddy and Gus.

Lovely lovely shot Mel. (Although it took 2 minutes to scroll to the bottom after the comments! lol).

Every time I look at it I find something new to look at.

Gee I thought your other shot of the same church was great. This is even better.
I love the light coming through the windows.

What I find most amazing about this shot, and other such pictures of lonely houses with over the top Hollywood romantic lighting is how powerful they can be to the imagination. Just looking at this picture hanging on my wall would give me hours and hours of creating stories of what happened in this house. From potato famine Ireland to turn of the century middle America and even the cliche 70s horror movies. This picture just gives and give!
Great job!

Thanks Stuart, Paul and Jef! I appreciate your comments!

this is amazing. the lighting is incredible!

Thanks so much for your comment, Ashlee!

Thanks so much to the lovely person who bought this card today!

I love this shot, your work is amazing how talented you are.

Thank you linda!

Great shot Mel
Dramatic and special.

.............................................................................i am speechless.

Love the long shadows of sunset to the left of the church as well
as the light the setting sun creates in the windows. Agree with
Jef Harris, ’ this picture just gives and gives.’ Stories beg to be
told here. Keep up the good work!

Another one I simply had to buy. It looks like i’m building a nice Mel B postcard collection lol :-)

Thank you, Allan, much appreciated!

I’m torn… I just dont know if I like this better in colour or monochrome… They ae both exquisite and unique in their own ways.

very rich color and brilliant angle

So stunningly beautiful. I love the colors and the mood. Great job on this.

Wow, really eye-popping colours. Great Work.
