    This is a wow. But why sepia? I love it in B&W and don't see that sepia adds anything excepts turning the habits a color we know they are not.
    If not now, when?

    this is a great shot!

    Excellent shot, Azzaro. I love that the two older women in the background are being 'confronted' by the four holy women. thumb.gif

    I too was taken back by the shot. Great capture. clap.gif But I also agree with Rutt. Could we see a B&W version? I don't see how the sepia adds anything to the shot other than flatten the tonality.

    I like this shot, partly because of the figures in the bg. Looks like a holy stand-off!

    Hi Rutt...... Thanks for the nice comment.... It isnt a true sepia ..... I didnt hit a sepia button.......It was a B&W and I changed it a little......:D It seemed like a good idea at the time.........headscratch.gif azzaro

    Thanks for the great comment..... It was a B&W that I tweaked and should have left it like it was.........It wasnt meant to be a sepia..... :D azzaro

    The shot's great but my favorite part are the keys on the nun. They add a bit of humor to their garments.
