Description

Photograph made with my Nikon D70S and a Tamron lens 18-200 mm. Postwork with Nik Color Efex Pro 2.0 (for the double colors) and frame with Photoshop 7

That's another shot in the ruins of the Villers Abbey, at 30 km of Bruxels, where I gone with Michel, in Belgium, 2 weeks ago. My original shot wasn't as good as I want... because of the exposition of the sun, then I make a little postwork, to try to see it in a different way. I don't know what you'll think about, but I think it's not so bad ;o(((( Michel has made some beautiful ones inside the Abbey, and to see the sky and the clouds in it is really magic ! Maybe he'll show you... You can read more about this Cistercian Abbey on his own website : Villers Abbey

What do you mean "Maybe I'll show you" ? After looking at your incredible work I will never dare to post my poor attempts... Nathalie, here you really made a MASTERPIECE and I must say it makes me very happy that you captured this in a place that I showed you during your stay in Belgium... I really like your postwork and the special duo color effect ! Bravissimo, Nathalie ! Zibous ! :~)
