Lucisart Church - first try

[rgs photography]

First off - Mods, sorry if I make mistakes, I did read the rules and will try to follow all of them, but I'm new!

This was my first try using Lucisart, but am not sure if I went overboard and it looks too fake, or if looking fake is part of the appeal. Any constructive critisicm you can give would be greatly appreciated!



Camera: Canon Rebel XTi
Sorry - the rest of my EXIF info is at my home computer. I will try to remember to update this with it later.

Thanks!

All Ican say is the sky needs some other type of sky inserted but I really like the effect you got with the app. I missed out on buying it for cheap and haven't gotten around to buying the new pro version. It does look more like a drawing than a real photo but I like that about it. I might try just a bit of sharpening of the building itself but other than that i like the angle and the color tones....the slight rays of light really add something to it also.
Maybe next time step back and get a bit more of the left side of the building........was there something off to the left that as a distraction or just the way you had to shoot it?

Good call with the sky - I didn't notice the blank-ness of it before. I'll have to play around with that more. Thanks!

Yes, there is a bookstore on the left side, with tons of tourists around

Looks good. Is that the church in Valley Forge, PA? Looks just like it.

Great Image. I like the angle, really gives height to the tall part of the image. I noticed "blown out" sky right away but only because I have been having problems with that recently. Love the lucis art look - gives images more character. Just my opinion.

Crashmaster - yes, that's the one in Valley Forge. It's crazy how many people have recognized it.... such a beautiful church. Very photogenic.

Haha I figured it was. I live less than 15min from there and have gone to that church once or twice to take pictures when I was in the park.
