Gateway with a View.

This image was captured in the nearby village of Néant-sur-Yvel and shows a distant view of the 16th c. church of St. Pierre. This image is SOOC.

Viewing on black is nicer I think.

Excellent on black, nice view...just needs a homeless bum shambling by...

[Taffy]

I like the composition and the decrepit look of the gate. Just enough hint of the building beyond.

[Maggiemae]

A field beyond the gate that entices one to see who lives in this field!

[gloria jones]

Great b/w shot...great composition that makes one want to open the gate

[Joanna kate]

You want to go beyond this gate!!

[Barbara Webb]

Love the comp for this b&w, fav!

[Rosan]

Wonderful composition. I like the aged gate and view beyond. Very compelling.

[Rosie Kerr]

Lovely framing and an inviting composition, suggesting a "walk beyond." Bonus for the SOOC. :)

[Margo Sayer]

An effective POV of Nature's unrelenting path through the seasons. Love the 1/3, 2/3 gate and it's welcoming carpet of oak leaves.

[Dianne]

Nice.

[Issi Bannerman]

Black is better, yes, and I love that distant church spire. Great old gate too!

[Morgane]

très beau noir et blanc, pas facile avec le temps que nous avons et ce ciel blanc sans relief. J'aime le cadre et la perspertive. FAV

[Joan Robillard]

Makes for a nice frame.

[john morley]

inviting scene, a touch of menace on black...

[Francoise]

a very classic sort of shot; barred from paradise.

[Richard Sayer]

@graemestevens I waited for you... but you didn't show ;-)

[Graeme Stevens]

@vignouse Sorry about that, I had other bookings at other gates ;)

[Rachel Withey]

Great framing - does look fab on black

[Tom]

Wonderful textured gate and view, love the vine/leaves to the right wonderful gray and detailed Richard. Camera or post?

[Richard Sayer]

@tosee Thanks Tom - as it says in the commentary, this one is SOOC!

[Jane winfrey]

What a beautiful and historic capture! I love the B&W capture! :)

[Jerome]

love it
