Dear Neik,

Nice contrast here between the sky/mountain and the sunlit church.

I like the POV and composition as well.

Cheers!

Hi Niek,
I like how you have captured the light highlighting that wonderful wooden church, as well as the thin strip of foreground grasses.The dark foreground & mountains assist in
making the church stand out.Thanks for the informative notes,did you also use mirror lock up?

Regards
Ron

Hi Niek,

Photography is matter of light! Your beautiful photo is clearly the proof of that.
I am deeply touched by the atmosphere you captured. Even if there are more dark zones in the composition, the whole image is luminous and vibrant. And this little church strongly anchored on the rock is in total harmony with the steep mountains. Powerful symbol. Thanks for this beauty and also for the informative notes.

Hello Niek,you have timed this shot perfectly with the sun highlighting the church beautifully, and emphasising the steep black mountains in the bg.There is a nice echo of light from the sky too in the fg beach.The golden brown vegetation completes the picture.
Tfs, regards Jean.

Hi Niek,

What a wonderful scene you have presented in this lovely picture!
I like the golden light on the grass and the contrast the church is getting from the rest of the breathtaking landscape. The clouds add a dramatic look to the picture, however, sunlight brings hope into the work.
Great sharpness and perfect lower POV for this work.
All in all, a wonderful composition!

Best regards,
Paras

Hi Niek, I really like your pov here with the gold band of sunshine across the middle. Still looks like somewhere you could freeze though with the mountains and the clouds. Fiona

Well not surprisingly with the search and good intention you prepared the scene with you were due to get it right and i strongly believe you did it the right way , the light is terrific sweeping across the narrow patch of land the church sits on without underexposing the mountains yet keeping sufficient details of the grassy FG to be valuable to the general composition. A lot of expectation and a no disappointment final result i reckon , looking forward to more images of your Lofoten trip Niek , TFS,
Regards,
Carol

Hi Niek,
Very well balanced catch of dramatic light. Not easy to find the best exposure for a contrasty scenery like this but you managed to solve the challenge really well. Congrats.
