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. And another try with colors... other tones too. This is the most important part of the Abbay, with an open sky... It's a very impressive place, and an enormous Abbey. I could imagine what it was when it was entire ! There's a very strange atmosphere in this place, something peaceful. Have you seen Michel (GiMi53) on this shot ? look better, you'll find him... he was shooting too of course !!!! On the other side of the Abbey. Thank you again Michel, for this wonderful photo trip !!! You can read more about this Cistercian Abbey on his own website : Villers Abbey

This is an awsome place, can you imagin what it must have been like with candles burning, chanting and all that pent up gothic celebacy? Fantastic view of a monstorous building.

Wow!! Such an amazing architecture and a beautiful photo too! It is so incredible that such a place is still in existence to me!! It would be so interesting to know how they worked to build such a very big place so long ago. I do love this picture with your beautiful colors and with Michel in there too!! :-) VOTE and to my favs!!

Awesome structure. Bold shot. It took a while for me to appreciate the stark lighting and tones. My first impulse was to wish it were soft and dreamy but after looking at it for some time, i began to come around to this look. It adds to the geometric tension and stonework details. 2nd looks are worth the effort!

l'hai fatto di nuovo Nathalie! splendida architettura! in questo scatto mi sembra tu l'abbia esaltata molto meglio... le parti (purtroppo) distrutte danno molta atmosfera! ottimo lavoro, anche per la decisione dei colori!

C'est grandiose! Quel style... Et pourtant c'est pratiquement l'un des exercices les plus hardus en photo (apr les portraits)... Barvo!
