I saw this post on FM too!
I really like the composition; subjects colors complement the background well.
The title works!

Thanks Chris. I must say I had a doubt about the title but decided to stick with it.

Owen

Is this a composite?

Looks like the people were pasted there. They both have some serious lack of tonal range.

Ted Szukalski

Owen is VERY observant. This image was born a long time ago in my mind as a result of a song I really liked. The song had a phrase "in the cathedral of trees". Well, at least that is the closest translation I can come up with.

Then recently I took this photo:


and few days later I took this one:


And suddenly it clicked in my mind. Take the trees away and put a cathedral there.

Now if I wasn't too artistic with the processing on the cathedral the tone would be a lot closer and thus harder to spot but I really liked the way the cathedral turned out and the final "collage".

I didn't notice the tonality issue as much as I did the "backlighting" of her hair on top and the right side against the dark wood of the door surround. A bit more "trimming" maybe? I do like the image though.

Ted Szukalski

Yes, it is a give way but not as noticeable unless you know you are looking at the composite. Trimming the hair would hide that.

Bendr

I thought it looked a little odd...
