Japanalia from Yokohama, Japan

A well balanced composition!The light in the window is so inviting, though the door looks so stern. I hear a voice saying..."those who pass through...beware"!

19 Feb 2008 12:30am

@Japanalia: Gabriela, thanks a lot, that's what got me to find a quick spot to park my car, 'cause I want to shoot the sun through the window....about the door? you have to repent first ;)

e. from New York, NY, United States

Really pretty. :) I agree with Japanalia. I like the light through the window.

@e.: Thanks e. it did indeed stop me from driving on ;)

Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia

That slight blue hue really adds to the mellow mood of the image, Lorraine. The composition is excellent and the textures of the door and wall are very nice. Very pleasing image.

@Michael Skorulski: Thanks a lot Michael...the sun passing through the window and the light of the lamppost made me stop and find a place to park and shoot it :)

MaryB from Staffordshire, United Kingdom

Beautiful lighting Lorraine, I love the way it not only shines on/in the window and lamp but on the snow of the steps too, a guiding light to the church, perhaps.
A georgous shot Lorraine :)

19 Feb 2008 5:00am

@MaryB: Thanks a lot MaryB, the Light does magical things doesn't it ? :)

martie from Okinawa, Japan

Another stunning winter photo! I'm not sure about the no parking sign -- surely the "owner" wouldn't object? :-) Great work Lorraine!

19 Feb 2008 5:38am

@martie: lol love your comment Martie and no, the owner doesn't mind these things, instead He provides the Light :)

Betty from United States

I love the contrast between the warm sun coming through the window and the cold blue outside! Beautiful shot, Lorraine!

19 Feb 2008 5:50am

@Betty: Yes it stopped me in my tracks....thanks a lot Betty ;)

Ron from Saint Louis, United States

Really a beautiful shot, Lorraine! The light reflecting off the window gives such a warm invitation to come in. I love those moments when driving along and you see something that you just have to capture. So often it's just not possible, but I'm pleased that you were able to do so here.

19 Feb 2008 6:34am

@Ron: You've said it Ron, I found that even being stuck in traffic can offer untold possibilities...as long as you have the camera with you lol Thanks always ;)

19 Feb 2008 6:45am

@the lightwriter: I was fortunate to drive by at exactly that time Lw, thanks a lot ;)

Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States

VERY welcoming ......... and it looks like the snow's stopped, at least long enough for you take you shot!

19 Feb 2008 7:27am

@Judy: Thanks a lot Judy, just long enough lol it started soon after, it was lovely to see the Light for a short while :)

Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States

This is beautiful. It has such a feeling of "a quiet morning" to it. I think the lighting coming from inside as it shows on the window is a real point of interest; I am supposing that the light is from the sun, shining through stained glass on the "morning sun" side of the church building. But those snow covered steps and door (with that lamp in the foreground) are what grabbed my eye first. Bravo!

19 Feb 2008 7:30am

@Viewfinder: That's so nicely put, and totally accurate, thanks so much Vf :)

tyan from Singapore, Singapore

Hi mommy L!Thank you so much for your kind and warm encouragement in your replies in my blog and yours..i really appreciate it and i sometimes wish i have more affirmation like yours from people around me,but i suppose i cant expect everyone to like what i do or say,and i am still learning to act according to my convictions.This warm light shining in the cold hard blue environment is exactly what your friendship and kind words mean to my world:)

19 Feb 2008 9:31pm

@tyan: No fear Tyan, you'll find your way and what a lovely, lovely comment, thank you :)

Ras from Plano, United States

Superb. I feel like Martin Luther needs to pop in and nail some thesis on the door:)

19 Feb 2008 9:34pm

@Ras: I love it lol what a great compliment, thanks Ras :)

Barbara from Florida, United States

Oh Lorraine this is beautiful. The wood doors and glow in the window are so welcoming. Nicely composed. One thing I would get rid of (before you box it up for greeting cards) is the sign on the lamp post.
Excellent.

20 Feb 2008 1:31am

@Barbara: Oh you are so right about that, I thought of it, then decided it would add nicely as a teaser lol Thanks a lot Barbara ;)
