it's a shame that photography like this doesn't get the respect it deserves. what csn i say thr image is just beyond words. it's so calm yet filled with setting and emotion, +fav

Wow, wonderful shot. I love all the darkness, especially near the top, right before we see the windows. As I'm sure many others have said, the way the light is hitting him is just perfect. And I also like the way he's looking up with that expression and his hands crossed, as if he had just been praying and God's already answered him. I can almost hear the harp music playing in this.
The spacing in this is nice, like the way you got the windows in the back into the picture so nicely without cutting off the top or sides.
Love it.

even though i'm not religious at all, this picture really shows how much a person can pour and feel about what they believe in. i like how this is in black and white, leaving it feeling simple, and just enough to observe everything else in this church. i love how so much is visible in the actual walls and the lines that cross...

Well the lighting definetly makes this shot very evocative. The way that single beam is highlighting the man so perfectly.. And even in the shadows there is detail for the eye to see.

Quite lovely.

wow the light is so beautiful and the message is easy to see
the b/w tones are very good here, they are helping to get the message.

Good photo, but I think it would be more expressive if you zoomed out quite a bit (or backed up) and took the photo of the guy sitting facing to the front or to the right where most of his body would be cast in shadow with his head bowed in either sadness or prayer where his face would be unseen. The zooming out and the change of pose would make for a more solitary and sincere photograph.

Good job none the less.

i have a photo of what you describe perfectly, but that is not the message i wish to convey. looking up = good, looking down = bad.

downwitda In reply to phlezk [2004-05-05 16:19:32 +0000 UTC]

Have you submitted the photo of the pose I described?

You've got a point with "looking up = good." It ended up looking pretty good despite the pose.

Who the hell took this picture?

Where the hell was this picture taken?

And why does the lighting make you look like a convict who's asking for forgiveness?!?!


very kickass, as always!! Old churches RULE

phlezk In reply to dusty129 [2004-04-28 13:58:43 +0000 UTC]

well, the answer could easily be 'tripod' but in this rare instance, its not. Marissa Stearns took this photo, in Ireland, on the date in the metadata.

the lighting was too good to pass up. thankyou.
