Very striking! Last one has a really dark shy compared to the first two and is my favourite, but as a series it's a little off,,,

Beautiful pictures.  For me too closely framed; I would have left some more space around.

Looks other-worldly.  Marvelous capture!

That is because you didn't see the Light!

Seriously, I love the texture in these pictures. It has the sensuality of IR photography.

I agree but then I would have had more interference and clutter with all the cars, street signs and gift shops.
I was lucky that it was freezing outside and no one wanted to tour the church, or it would have been overrun with tourist.
Surroundings are not like when Ansel shot this church.
Thanks for the comments I will take a different approach next time and bring gloves!! ;D

I love these photographs. Brings back great memories of my time in New Mexico.  ;D
Using B&W is a classic way to capture these lovely shadows and planes and angles.


Don't be afraid to let the surroundings into some shots. It can make for an interesting contrast of purity versus clutter, yes?

Thank's!!
Post processing photo 3? The only indication I cloned out the ugly metal Gas meter that was stuck on the wall is the shadow of the pipe in the gravel at the bottom of the right side of the building.. Lol! ;D
I missed that one!
