Little Cruces

From a series I'm doing on small, mostly unknown or in disrepair, missions in Northern New Mexico. These are primarily black&white infrared images, symbolic of the unseen or unknowable.

Hi David. Very nice job! The lean of the church is really distracting to me though. Is it leaning that much or is this lens distortion? In the repost, I adjusted the vertical perspective by about -35 points using the "lens correction" filter in PSCS3, then cropped a bit. What do you think?

[Michael Pancier]

I agree with the tilt, but prefer the darker sky of the original post. maybe clone out the road on the left corner. perfect IR subject matter.

I just LOVE the crosses in the graveyard that carry the "cross" theme throughout the image. Very nice!

[david cramer]

Thanks all. Dan, thanks also for your thoughts and effort. I prefer the original, after trying to adjust the tilt myself. The church sits a little tilted, and the correction mucks around with the walls not looking good to me.

Hi David,
I like the original; it has character. I like the tilt; its a sign of old age...good show...:cool:

Very nicely done, I'd like to see more anchoring rom at the bottom. Other than that, I like as presented.
