Aileni's Monochrome Monday's shot. Please click on the link to visit and see great shots from around the world.I worked with the shot below quite abit. It had several distractions that were removed and I wanted to give this shot a sense of history and age so I made it as stark and grainy as I could. But closing my eyes I can see it brand new and beckoning. Below I have the original photo, shot from a fast moving car.
Below I have the original photo, shot from a fast moving car. You can see I removed the road in front and some trees plus a billboard from the side of the building. I sharpened the photo a lot as I wanted to show the detail of this wonderful old building. As soon as I saw this old church I wanted to see it in black and white.

You have done a very good job on this picture. The B&W has real character - spot on.
This is fabulous. I love the way you worked with it in monochrome which is so well suited to the subject. Beautiful old church.
Perfect treatment for this shot. I find so often I can "rescue" a shot simply by converting it to black and white. I think that's how I came to have so many monochromes... I need a lot of rescuing!
This is just amazing! It's has such a different feel now! The vignette effect added such character to it too:)Bravo!
Love it. Helen
Well done, a nice b&w image form a rescue image as the colour does the subject no justice.
Great work and image!
I love it in monochrome! It is a unique atmosphere!
A perfect example of a picture which works better in monochrome.
Beautifully done. The pinhole camera effect is great and makes the picture look like it was taken 150 years ago. I really like this very much and shows a good eye for cropping and composition.
That is so cool! I've seen old churches but nothing like this! Awesome!
Marvelous job. I've gone back in time with this shot.
Nice work! I was surprised to see how it started out as - I love your version!
Thanks for dropping by and for you kind comment :)
Your version is a great improvement over the original. Very cool!
I just LOOOOVE it!! That church is just perfect for photographing - and especially for monochrome :) Well done :)
loved the old, rustic look when you made it B&W, i liked it much better than the original colored photo. great shot!
