Wonderful mono image with very definite mysterious mood. I love the vintage look. It looks like it was taken with a very old lens. I like that effect. ~BV~
A deliberately unconventional shot of the iconic Sacré-Cœur Basilica, and the effect is striking. Far from the majesty of a head-on view in full sunlight, two imposing Romano-Byzantine-style domes rise up, backlit, emerging from behind the sun-drenched crown of a tree. In the foreground, a small square with its cobblestones catching the sun’s reflection—is lined with empty café tables and chairs that glisten in the light. The peak of the main dome stands out between two bold streaks of light in the sky; an inspiring and intriguing vision that seems to embrace the celestial vault. In the lower-left corner, a young woman walks toward the basilica; her hair and shoulder are rimmed with a solar halo. She appears filled with a profound sense of happiness—a blessed soul. ~VVVVV+++~
A very challenging exposure with the strong lighting but very nicely done. This has a wonderful dreamlike mood and selected focus which works well in a B&W. I like the sense of the "moment" in this well timed capture. Very nicely done!! VV++
