Church of the Immaculate Conception/Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

JRE313 · Oct 6, 2012

Hey guys, Just got back from my trip to Brazil and I took a bunch of photos while I was down there.
Here is one of my most favorite churches in Rio. I really put my heart and soul into this one. I hope it all paid off.
Please understand that I am not really great with HDR. I hope you Enjoy!!!

This is the first of many to come

Ooo nice church shot!!

A few things to work on, the blown out light areas and light glare of the chandeliers. Maybe even bump up some shadow detail in the pews.

Over all a very nice shot.

The colors are rich and the detail is great.

On a scale of 1 to ten, I'm giving this one a solid 9. The chandelier issue is what I see, as well, and the green light doesn't seem to fit with the image. If that's what was there, though, then it should be shot.

This is really nice...

That green was there when I shot the church.
I did not change it.

I didn't mean to suggest that you did. In fact, I think my point was just to the opposite.

I know a lot of people who would've tried to remove it, because it is somewhat distracting. Distracting though it may be, I like that you left it there...
