I like all three views of this church, I'm not sure which is my favorite!
Denise02-Jun-2007 15:45
Oh yes!!! Now this one is my favorite of the three!!!! What a difference taking out a couple of teeny tiny wires makes.

Thank you, bottles! I’m proud you like the image. (...and I have sent you an eMail about the wires...) — db.

Wow, this is just beautiful, I agree with everything Denise said. And what a gorgeous sky!!!! Oh yeah, I'd be glad to remove the wires if you'd like.

Thanks, Denise, for commenting! I agree on the wires, but found the «cloning-out» indeed «way too tedious» (as you say). Maybe I could ask bottles—my favourite *post-processing magician* around here—a favour...?? — db.

Very nice, also. I like the flowers in the foreground, the snowy mountains in the background. The person walking gives the image wonderful scale.
*I think I might have tried to clone out the wires above the church. Although it might be way too tedious.
