Here is the larger version of the one I posted called: PROUD MOMENT", the church liked my picture & post work so much they had it blown up and framed, then put on display in Oct 2014 at the front of the church for everyone to see. I did a lot of pictures of the outside & the inside of the church, presented the church with a photo album of my images as a gift.
As you see it was a really beautiful day in Aug 2014, when this was taken, while the secretary of the church was standing next letting me know when there were no cars coming, lol. It's on a busy intersection.
On this image it took me around 12 hours total of cloning out 9 power lines & a no parking sign in the front using a old program on my little PC which runs Windows 7, called: MGI PhotSuite 4. Brought out more detail and colour using my iMac with Adobe Photoshop Elements 10.
Of course being Sunday tomorrow, it's time where my husband and I enjoy our day together. Also having our son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter up for dinner.
Going to be busy for the next few days, of course one of the days involves figure skating, getting ready to work at an ice show. So won't be around much or commenting.
Have a wonderful day, ♥ Skates ♥

Pat - You did a terrific job cloning out all the utility lines and parking signs. With the sunlight coming from the right and the beautiful sky, your capture of the church looks great. Crisp clarity and details, composed well, it is evident that this church is a source of great pride for you. Well done!

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine The Earth without art is just 'eh'.
So what size did you make the photo for the gift, Skates?
I am sure God guided your hand while you were cloning and editing.
Such a great job and gift.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
Your image turned out beautifully Pat. All that hard work and those hours you put in turned out a professional looking photograph. You should be proud - I know your church is. Excellent work Pat - great composition and super clarity!!!

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
Nicely done, Pat.
Both, on the editing/post processing front.. and then, from behind the lens.
Composition is very strong.
Colours look good good.. natural, vibrant.
And..
But, of course.. thanks for sharing your efforts with us. :o)

Very nice capture with good lighting and great clarity showing all the textures so clearly Skates. Yes, certainly you can be proud of your shots and your contribution to the church.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
Beautifully done in all respects, Pat. I know how tedious cloning can be, especially with power lines. I used to clone out them all no matter what, but now I only do it when they are a major distraction. You do a great job in editing.

It's amazing to see the different architectural styles in this church Pat, from a modern to medieval appearance.
I have read by your narrative the very time consuming effort to clone out the power lines. My compliments for that.

Wow this is one very well composed photography the detail is lovely and sharp and stunning natural colours and what makes the iceing on the cake with this photo is the tree at the front and trees on both sided .Love the angle of the path leading your eyes round to the front of the church and stunning sky as well.

Very nice edit job Pat. I can't tell where anything was cloned. The overall image is strong and sharp with hardly any distortion at such wide angle. No wonder they appreciated your fine work and framed it Pat. Perfect day for a picture and also perfect time.

Life's moments are sweet. I just want to capture all that I can of them.
12 hours of cloning...wow, what dedication...don't know if I'd have that much patience but great results, Pat...and congrats on the recognition received by your church...a proud moment indeed.

If you stare at an orange juice container because it says, "CONCENTRATE"...you might be a redneck.
Honestly, I have to admit that my record was 3 hours in editing, namely cloning. And even that was a failure LOL
You have the patience of an angel and this is not just an ordinary compliment, our sweet agent SABK. Your calm and consistency in pursuing your goals is just awesome. HOWGH.

Visit my gallery, there's always something new from France !!
Very good job with the cloning and erasing, Pat. You only missed one little section of wire near the top of the cedar that I can see.
Good composition of the scene and a great capture of the church. Nice lighting, colours and textures in the image.

I am late in commenting this wonderful church. It�s tower reminds me a bit of the towers of English castles. Great work.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
