(June 4th) Riverview Baptist Church with Goose Butts

Comment by kaiser_chief:
A really good capture. I think haviong the geese in the photo helps the overall image. Without them it would have been a picture of a church by the water, but they add that extra little bit to make it stand out from the rest.
Yes, dropping the frame slightly would have given a better composition, but there is usually only one chance to get this, and often the composition comes and what it is. Birds unfortunately do not obey commands to move into the right spot.
Colours are good, maybe a little extra saturation on the red channel to make the church stand out just a little more may help, but a good image made better by the presance of the bords.

Charming church, nestled in the trees and overlooking the water. I love the geese, and how appropriate they are for for Byrd Park lol.

How pretty! I love to look at old churches and imagine the history there. The goose butts add depth and dynamics to the image. Great post!

This is a really good cityscape. Nice leading lines, very nice balance in the composition. The blue skies with a cloud just tops it off. I wouldn't change anything.

Ingrid, Roz and Deb - when moving the photo, messed up and deleted your comments. Luckily I had another window open and was able to copy/paste them. There goes my brain again. =/ Many thanks for the comments!

Poofy clouds are always good :)
There is lots to see and none of it is too much in any location - nicely arranged and spaced.

I think this is a very good shot to show where you live. Nice light, crisp and clear, and good solid composition with nice lines (as you mentioned) and that touch of green. Welcome to the wonderful world of side challenges!
