Thanks ddk.
As mentionned earlier in this thread, you'd posted among the most interesting images here -that is , the former version of "fun with Nikon"
A truly original vision.
Leica77 - the last dancers image makes a fun balance with the other one you've posted on the same subject some days ago. Then a deep DOP and now a more than selective focus. A ttoal different approach and a complementary result. Nice.

That's a great photo. Where is it?

Thanks Jorgen.
It's from an area North of France called Thierarche.
There's about 70 churches in a splendid, countryside, hilly, remote area where the Roman (not from Rome...) style churches from the 11-13th century had been turned into semi-military outpost in the 17th century -hence the "fortified" nature of these churches in an area without castles.
Being somehow in the way of the Germans invaders (and long before that, the Dutch rogue batallions... the reason why they were fortified) some were destroyed by WW1 bombardments and more recently rehabilitated. So there's a great variety of them, still with a common feel.
I'm currently into an assigment shooting the most significant, will post more in time -probably featuring various PP
P.S. People around there are great, friendly fellows with sometimes 19th century -if not secular- traditions. You would just love it for portraits.

Wow!!! Love, love, love this one. :bugeyes:Even More Fun Pictures with Nikon. Nikon D300 + 18-200 mm VR Lens. Island Dancers of the South Seas. Thank you for looking. Leica 77
Hello Corlan F.,
I appreciate having your kind feedback. The stone church in northern France which is juxaposed with a boy on bicycle is a beautiful image. The semi-monochrome image enhances the historic depth and antiquity of the place. All the best, Leica 77

Thank you - Not exactly sure what you mean here by "juxtaposed", so just in case: it's indeed one single photo with color post processing only
You're right about the semi-monochrome, that was spot on the reason for this processing -it kinda gives those churches their original age back, where otherwise the later brick modifications tend to makes them look more recent.
What gives their original age away is that, sturdy as they are, nothing is quite straight anymore. Not a parrallel wall, door or roof either. Old stones, and very, very old grounds.
Here's another one -with a slightly different PP- proudly overlooking an old vllage:

Many thanks for your informative post and another beautiful image. It is wonderful that these monumental architectural legacies are well preserved through a number of restorations. These are truly significant heritage sites. All the best, Leica 77
