Thank you, Eva. Lorraine from Gatineau, CanadaI can taste the history, such a stunning photo you took Michael :) 30 Mar 2008 10:01am @Lorraine: Thank you, Lorraine. Your view is much appreciated. @Betty: Thank you very much, Betty. Tracey from Baltimore, United StatesI love the balanced composition and the red tiled roof against the blue sky. I wish I could see the very tippy top of the roof though! 30 Mar 2008 11:39am @Tracey: True enough. A trade-off with a number of other factors. Thanks, Tracey. Chris from South Jersey, United StatesBeautiful image in color - the roof contrasts nicely against the sky and the tree balances nicely against the church. That fence really grounds the image nicely as well.... 30 Mar 2008 12:22pm @Chris: Thank you, Chris. I appreciate your thoughtful analysis. @Satrajit: Thank you, Satrajit. I appreciate that. @Teresa Durães: Thank you. Japanalia from Yokohama, JapanMost beautiful in colours! I favour it over the B&W because it looks alive! 30 Mar 2008 1:51pm @Japanalia: Thank you, Gabriela. I like both. But Marta favors the color version as well. Ron from Saint Louis, United StatesA beautiful capture, Michael ... crisp detail throughout the shot! 30 Mar 2008 2:49pm @Ron: Thank you, Ron. I appreciate that. @Behrooz Sangani: Thank you, Behrooz. MaryB from Staffordshire, United KingdomThat is an impressive tree and a beautiful church, I think both are more evident in this colour version. A great shot Michael. 30 Mar 2008 4:18pm @MaryB: Thank you, Mary. I appreciate your opinion. Oswegan from Lake Oswego, United StatesA very nice view of this old tree and nice contrast with the church. 30 Mar 2008 4:22pm @Oswegan: Thank you, Oswegan. @yiannis krikis: Thank you, Yiannis. e. from New York, NY, United StatesBeautiful. :) We got to see it in all of its colored glory. 30 Mar 2008 7:05pm @e.: Thanks, e. I appreciate that. Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, FranceJe préfère celle-ci en couleur( c'est plus ma sensibilité !!) mais celle en N&B était peut-être un peu plus contrastée. 30 Mar 2008 7:43pm @Evelyne Dubos: Merci beaucoup, Evelyn. standley from brou-sur-chantereine, FranceNice to see the coloured version Michael. Nonetheless the B&W one is more impressive! 30 Mar 2008 7:50pm @standley: Thank you, Standley. It is interesting how the preference is perhaps equally split. vu@granby - Wolfgang from Granby, Quebec, CanadaI am more inclined to the color version, just my opinion... 30 Mar 2008 8:10pm @vu@granby - Wolfgang: It really is just taste. And I've found my preference for one version or another can differ depending on mood or even time of day. Thank you, Wolfgang. vu@granby from Granby, Québec, CanadaYou're right to go around those old fellows, they have alot to show! vu@granby - Gilles Martineau 30 Mar 2008 8:23pm @vu@granby: Thanks you, Gilles.

Bravo :o) 30 Mar 2008 11:15pm @Suzanne Labbé: Merci, Suzanne. Graça B. from Lisboa, PortugalAn old church, a fence and a tree. This is a scenery full of charm and sweet melancholy. 30 Mar 2008 11:24pm @Graça B.: A nice comment. thank you. @Viewfinder: Thank you, VF. James from CanadaExcellent lighting, and nice composition.

Melissa W. from Warsaw, Indiana, United StatesThe first thing I noticed was the light, but then I noticed the detail and texture...wow! Fantastically framed...love the iron fence...picture perfect.
