A small Chapel (privately owned) located just a few klm's from my home.

This image was shot using a pano head, x2 rows of three images (portrait orientation).

Looks to be a real beauty geoff. Love the rich blacks and darker tones but feel like the lighter and mid tones tones need a lift.

I love it.

Churches like this, with lots of good space around them, are quite rare in Oz. Well spotted, and great mono.

Nice, but I agree it could do with "lighter and mid tones", as advised by Rooz.

Lovely spot.

I have actually shot a wedding here, so I know it quite well.

Congrats on an excellent b&w conversion Geoff - it gives a totally different feel to the place.

I love the trees and the shadows of the trees, and the sky too.

A terrific change-up from a colour image which would not have half the impact of this masterpiece.

I note with interest the six exposures combined to provide the final image - great technique.

Truly what I would call "making a photograph".

Ditto with all of the above. I would maybe cut just a tad from the empty foreground but I wouldn't change anything else. Nice work!

Thanks all for the feedback, all critique will be considered and may even be incorporated :) . The stitched TIFF file is 133MB and the detail at 100% is pretty impressive IMHO.

The stitching program I used was the free Microsoft Image Composite Editor (ICE), and worth every cent :D
