Great choice of subject and excellent light. Detail is strong and repetition of shapes is good. There appears to be some vertical striation in the sky area - quite odd. Tones are very AA.
I love the image. Too bad that there's lots of artifacts and vertical banding in you sky (very strange effect from a camera - I've seen scanners do this - please don't take this as an accusation, it's not). Again very lovely image.
Composition: 9, Love the framing of the first door
Technical: 8, Great tone range. Only thing I can suggest is to decrease the jpeg compression slightly so the shades in the sky are a little smoother
Appeal: 9
Challenge: 10, Shot could be directly out of Ansel's camera if I didn't know better
Overall Calculated Average Score: 9
Great Adams style work. Strange effect to see the top part of the church dark and the lower part well lit. Is this natural?. I love the texture of the materials.
I loved Ansels photo of this same spot. I can't find it anywhere online to compare, but very nicely done and true to the original from what I remember.
i like the view "through a window" in this shot. It works. I also like the tops that compliment each other in there likeness of each other. it is interesting how in the window on the barn is much lighter then outside of the window. Is this how the photo took or was this a play with PS? - 7
I love everything about this photo... except for the sky. The green and gray jagginess doesn't fit the rest of the image IMHO. A very nice photo otherwise.
Zonally, this runs counter to most images in the challenge as light is the key here although you have skillfully included the other end of the spectrum to balance the image. Excellent composition here which sets it apart from much of he competition. Top 5
LOL! That's just simply not fair! Besides actually being in Yosemity Park this is the best place to take a picture that is Ansel-ish huh? Very nice. The lighting is where it needs to be but I'm noticing some color cast in the sky portion of the photo. You may want to consider recalibrating your monitor (unless you intended it that way but I doubt that).
Excellent choice and technique for this challenge. Clouds would have given this photo an additional push. The inner door is distracting to me, seems out of place in the adobe world. I like the contrasts of light/dark in this photo.
