Challenge: Silence IV (Basic Editing I)
Camera: Sony DSC-F707
Location: Paris - Mont-Martre
Date: Feb 25, 2004
Aperture: 2.0
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1.00 sec
Galleries: Vintage, Emotive
Date Uploaded: Feb 27, 2004

 Cropped, of course.
Use of "Curves" to enhance the green dominant and achieve a sort of duotone end result (at least on my monitor).
To explain why I posted it in the "Silence" I could have titled it "Silence of the Night" but I agree with those who says that the title should not be used to enhance a photo's message.
Even more important, I felt like if I would have betrayed the magic of the place and that place was really magic.
I hope I was able to capture at least 1% of its magic. I would be happy with that. =)

This shot really conveys silence. The green hue is eerie and there's a very "above" feel to it. I can't explain what I mean, but I like it.

Gorgeous shot. Love the lighting and the tone. Angle's not bad either, it would almost work for off-screen expectation.

I really like the mood of this image, created by the lighting and the reflections of it upon damp stonework. In terms of composition it's the right hand side that holds all the interest for me and I prefer the image overall once a good third or more of the image has been chopped off from the left.

Capturing some atmosphere there. Good image but not extraordinary. Not sure what lacks.

Interesting perspective. A little green though. I like it.

the light is interesting but the greenish cast is a little too much, good response for the challenge and an interesting image

I very much like this image. I love the colour cast of the lighting and the shadows. It's very haunting and definitely conveys silence. Good luck!

Nice photo. I like the angle at which this was taken. All the lines lead up to the darkness at the back.
