[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 285113, member: 9240"] Agreed that in the first image the shadows can make for a great subject with the church being the contrast if taken and processed appropriately, but the other shots are far more miss than hit. Having an "artistic side" is all well and good, but "artistic vision" is what ultimately is needed. I get a feel for what you're seeing in the first and 4th photos, but you missed the target compositionally enough that I don't know what it is you're going for. I love the idea of the shadows being a "dark" against the "light" of the church, but they're just [I]there[/I] and not obvious or daunting enough. I'm thinking something very stark in Black & White would do you much better here. I tried doing some basic edits, but the computer I'm on only has Elements 9. That said, I came close to something presentable, but if you've got Lightroom I think you can knock something out with photos 1 & 3. [/QUOTE]
