San Geronimo Church

[dankearl]

At the Taos, New Mexico Pueblo.
Built by the Spanish missionaries in 1850 to replace the original church the spanish
destroyed in the Pueblo uprising in 1680 in the indian Village.
If it looks familiar and you haven't been there, Ansel Adams photographed
it before they painted the walls white.
Light a bit harsh, you can only enter the Pueblo after 10am and it is closed
to the public after 3pm.

Hi Dan - Been there but before I was into photography. I like the pov and comp. The sepia tone is a good choice with the harsh light. Looks like it needs some cw rotation and some more NR on the sky.

TFS,
Rachel

Nicely composed, Dan, great subject matter and story, like the sepia for this, and clouds are a nice touch.

I think NM and southwest architecture looks good in strong light so AOK with me. Sepia toning adds a nice dimension. I would crop some off the top.

interesting place and construction here. Not a great sepia fan at the moment but agree with composition and have you looked at BW?
