Moi j'aime bien.
C'est parce qu'on est dimanche matin?
fameuse idιe ,cette grille en avant- plan avec le motif en fer forgι dιcentrι; elle reprend le qadrillage des vitraux.
Belles couleurs, l'angle un peu penchι anime le tout.
Bon dimanche.

Hi Hermann. Good inclusion of the wrought-iron grid in the foreground for the framing purposes - it establishes the place and a rhythmic element without taking away too much of the colorful and decorative church interior that is shown. Good rendition of the festive mood with the lights.

Interesting compo H. with the use of this iron gate as a foreground to the interior shot of the church. Still the people and other details in there is well seen and presented - good work

hi hermann, nicely balanced foreground and interior of the church; i like this novel idea of framing a sacral ceremony - look as if you did not want to disturb the celebration;
very nice capture;
best, jerzy

Fantastic idea! Shooting through the screen gives this photo another dimension, more depth. The colour is great, as is the soft light inside the church. Escellent work!

A very nice framed seethroug shot to get the atmosphere of this pilgrims with spot on the colorful altar well enlightned with the sidelight and the luster with a good sharpness, not easy with the front grill. A good Sunday post.

Fine mood "from behind the grids", the altar is not cut and very well placed. Good colors too.
I like it

Hi Jean Michel,
Hi Hermann, Thanks for brining us to view this religious event. This picture makes me feel that I was there seeing through the fence with you together. You have well made use of the lights and well captured the mood. A well taken picture.

A really nice creative point of view here Hermann - I like the way that the screen frames the congregation - very nice! The altar in particular is very well placed and the light through the wndow is fantastic - it really is such a good image in what are usually very difficult to balance lighting conditions.
best wishes Kev
g-later!

Hi Hermann,
A well composed shot which has captured the essence of the pilgrimage. Your perfect framing and cropping really enhance. The eye is left to roam freely through the window, as if we are peeking into a scene from which we are forbidden. The lighting is well controlled here. Great work, Hermann. I like this one.
