Artist's Comments

Denison, Texas
St Patrick's Church

This is a first for me, as I haven't posted any interior shots. I wanted to capture the church in all its beauty inside, but in this shot, I wanted to focus the attention on the windows.

This is and HDR shot that was converted to B&W.

Even if this doesn't turn out to be a "popular" photo
I am personally pleased with how this turned out. Three days in processing, Mostly due to mistakes and having to start over.. This is a personal record for me.

I'd say you pulled it off in spades, my friend! :clap: I have always loved stained glass windows. They really grab your attention in this shot. I really like the black and white HDR--it's not overdone at all. Nice contrasts in it with no halos (no pun intended :giggle:)

Well done, my friend! :+fav:

Great job! Love it!
So you shot in HDR and made it B&W ?
How'd you do the color isolation?

When doing shots like this where most of the pic is B&W except for a few isolated areas I like to keep the saturation low. Sometimes it helps draw attention to the area of color but if it is more subtle it is not overpowering.
