This pic is weird


I know it's kind of a crappy pic, technically. I took it at Mont St. Michel in France, in the summer of '85. The way the light comes through at dusk and sunrise makes it look as if there are 3 crosses, like the crucifixion site. This is a hallway that leads to the garden at the top of the abbey.

2. You did capture the shadows well
whether you intended to or not...I noticed that with your other pics..your sense of light and shadows is innate.

and I prefer natural light. It actually was an accident, i hadnt set the shutter speed correctly but pressed the shutter when someone bumped me. I didnt have time to set up another shot. I have more pics of the abbey, I will add them sometime.

edited to add thank you by the way:)

6. I took that as somewhat of a challange, so


This is it, all I did was boost the contrast a tad. I have always felt I "captured" something special in this photo. I almost have to wonder If Mel saw it somewhere a long time ago. Feel free to use itCanuk, with the complete blessing (no pun intended) of the original artist.
