La Purisima Mission

I recently reorganized the galleries on my website. As a result of that effort, I have been taking a fresh look at a lot of the images. I tossed a few and others I rescanned and/or reworked. This is one from 2006 I rescanned and reworked.

It is amazing how one's creative vision changes over time.

Looks good to me. You did a nice job with the color and tones. I like the overall composition and the receding perspective.

Nicely done, sir!

Very neat scene, Harley. Really love these type of scenes.
I saw a similar B&W from the UK as I recall taken at Oxford or a college campus with a long hallway like this, it too was an excellent scene. I need to see if I can muster up enough time to work up my old Santa Fe railway station one. It was a long open hallway leading to the train loading platform.
Not sure you know who Huell Howser was, just past away recently, but he did a video on every mission in California. It was just really good all around history viewing at it's best.
:cool:

I like the converging lines, tones, and comp. The light green beyond the archway really grabs your eye as well.
A variation would take just a bit off the top & right side, putting that archway slightly higher in the frame.
Very nice.
