St. Augustine Reflection

[Cheryl Slechta]

OK, I'm working my way through my shots taken in St. Augustine This was taken on the grounds of the Catholic Church without the statue in front of it. I used Topaz B&W Toned Collection Sepia & Selenium.
Thanks for looking. Comments and suggestions appreciated.

Very nice capture and processing, Cheryl. The toning is great, and this is the type of shot for which centering vertically makes a lot of sense. I really like the foreground vegetation, but I'm unsure about the element in the lower right, although I do like the shape and shadows.

Dennis, thanks for your comments. I debated evicting the lower right - I believe they are flat slabs of rocks but in the end decided I liked the fact that it framed the lower half of the image. I could go either way with it

Cheryl, This is very nice! I like the mood with the somber color tones at the bottom. I am debating the LRC too . Love the cross and you did a great job with this one!

[Paul Lagasi]

I agree with the comments above, very nicely composed image, like the Topaz effect and composition, I would probably remove the lrc

I like the strong lines. The muted tones work well. The rocks at the bottom ground the image and provide perspective. Nicely done.

Cheryl, you have captured a wonderful serene atmosphere. The muted tone certainly adds a lot to the image. I agree with Anita; those rocks anchor the image well.
