Thank you Pete 😊

Thanks for the comments.
Minnie, I am glad you saw the arches of light as floating, because that is how they appeared to me too. It only works if the wall on the right is included in the composition.

Since many people were interested in the story and structure, here are some more, which give a bit more detail of the building.

Hmmm, can’t seem to do it from my phone, I’ll try the iPad

This gives an idea of the size of the hall and shows the openings above the green lower parts of the wall, which provided the light to create the “arches” in my photo.

Well, I was going to add more photos, but for some unknown reason the process is very hit and miss at the moment. Bandwidth? In any case I will have to leave it there. Sorry.

Impressive, very well captured.

Nice photo.
Where is it taken?

Without your text I would have thought that the photo was staged.
Very good photo 👍

It's about composition and colors.
In this photo it's worked, simple but effective, I like it.

Very nice Pete but it looks even better to me if straightened a bit with a bit more contrast applied as well.

Just some food for thought 😊

This is the original version showing pretty much what I saw at the time. It doesn't really do much for me.

With the colour graded version I wanted to highlight the reflection in the water much more.

Sorry don't care much for this, really don't understand the teal and orange colour grading, too dark, colours don't work. I prefer something more like this from your original.

Thank you for your thoughts Andrew 😊

Thread is now in the Dumpster where it belongs 👍. If interested in the rubbish that went on there and you don't have access to the Dumpster you need to ask Alan to give you access

I only blurred the edges to cover up the very poor job of removing your brother from the image Paula. I thought that because the tractor was important including a bit more was the way to go, but only if a credible job can be made on the removal. Adobe LR now has the Ai removal/fill capabilities in the cloud version and it would look very natural if it works. No guarantees but it does work quickly and results I have seen are exceptional.

Delightful pastel layer cake of a structure with all its intricacies and delicate touches. I've enjoyed studying the nooks and crannies on this one, and I want to explore it myself! I think it could benefit from a bit of straightening, that bright arch on the right is a bit distracting with the tilt.

Yes, it could definitely use some straightening. I was having so many issues, it was simply as taken on the phone with zero processing.
