Challenge: Night Shot III (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Nikon D70s
Lens: Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G IF-ED
Location: NJ, USA
Date: May 5, 2006
Aperture: f/4
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1.6

Date Uploaded: May 7, 2006

 Wasn't sure whether submit this to Night Shot III or Holy Places. In the end I figured it had more merit as a night shot. Hope I made the right decision.

Post processing:
- Very minor noise reduction
- Very minor levels change, to bring out light in leaves.
- White frame
- That's it!


Post-challenge:
Thank you very much for putting me above the 6.0 on this shot. I have reviewed all the comments that folks have graciously left, and I hope to learn from it.

I like the light here and all the sharp details. Branches are a bit too much for me but this is a really good photo regardless.

Nice and sharp... like the contrast between the leaves on the right and the church. Would have cut out the ones on the left tho.

That looks like a magnificant church. I dont know why you did not move up a bit. Pretty shot, the limbs just are a bit distacting.

Nice framing, great focus & exposure. The pastor would be proud.

I like the church in the background but I think the tree on the right side of the frame really distracts the viewer.

This os reaally lovely but concerned that thers is so many great night images in this challenge I wonder if it would have done better in the "Holy Places" challenge. I am not going to mark you down as I really like tis image.....

Excellent work! Colors, composition, sharpness all superb! I love these small churches with the ambitious steeples.

Would have voted this even higher if not for the one branch on the lower right (covering the side of the church). The top right is great for framing, though.

The leaves on the left look wounderfull with this picture, but the leaves on the right, i think, distract from the church.
