Description A lovely chapel I found today while driving through the hills around Hollenthon in Lower Austria. It looks cool in color, but I think BW is even better and adds some divine spice.

I tonemapped the single image in Photomatix Pro, and did the BW conversion (using a yellow-filter) and some curves with Nikon Capture NX .

So, what's up with that addiction to naked trees? Explain!

moose-seer In reply to silentmode [2007-01-04 01:01:24 +0000 UTC]

I can't really say why, I just love them. I'm very simple that way, I love what I love. But if you really make me think about it, I think its the bare look that draws me. There something about it being so naked and exposed.
