Beautiful and creative image….very nicely done!

Nice one

Awesome work.

What a beautiful church. Where is it?

The church is in Iowa.

Superb edit.

I really like this, makes me want to explore this area

Wow… what treatment did you use to create this? Its awsome.

I can’t remember exactly what I did on this. It was done several months ago. I work in Photoshop and use a variety of things until it seems “done.” I never seem to use the same process twice.

WOW…what a great find….I dont think I have ever found an abandonded church….this is really a great shot

Probably used as a school also… Just grand! :)

fantastic shot, well done

stunning work!

be proud great work.

Wonderful picture.

I would love to sit in there When it is pitch black at night time, no moon light and one candle burning in the corner…. I mean, I don’t do those kinds of things, but it looks like this place would be fun doing so… Thanks for the photo, very nice..

This works very well!

Love the mood you got with this shot. Nicely done.

I love the post-processing you did on this. Beautiful photo.

Very nice work!

atmospheric!

nice colour…good pic

What an amazing photo of a wonderful piece of history. Even though it is lovely in it’s deteriotating state..it seems a shame it was not saved.

Such a lovely old church….Imagine the souls that have passed through this place… Wonderful shot Jing! =)

Congratulations for being featured on the Architectural Photography group home page. Wonderful image and interesting treatment you have given it.

Fantastic! – love the treatment here.. so soft

Wow, this is an amazing image…very captivating!!!

Absolutely love the effect.

Well done! I love this old church, I love what you’ve done with the tones! Great job!

Where is this old church, love the spookieness to the scene, I can imagine the ghost and stories that could come from such an interesting building. I wonder what the history of this place is??

this picture is amazing, where did you find such an old church still in one piece?

You have taken an old church-looking building, and with a genuine technique, given it a life again. I love old buildings/abandoned rural homes. Perhaps it is the energy I feel pulsating through my physical body. So beautiful!

wow, this is amazing

Congratulations on having this good art *Featured on the Redbubble Home Page!

Lost America
By
Bradley S. Hartman

We have developed a need for speed,
Having to get from point A to point B,
Without a care of what’s in between,
Not even wondering what went unseen.

Lost is the thrill to let our imagination wander,
As we take away the town up yonder,
Never knowing the people left to plunder,
As another small town goes under.

What are we gaining from our impatience?
Road rage? Loss of family time? Innocence?
Or Just the loss of a proud heritage,
To have a few minutes shaved away by an interstate.

But then where’s the thrill of waiting for that next hill?
When we can fly and miss America, what a deal,
The great American novels come on CD’s to hear,
So who needs to read, let’s be real.

With America’s products mass produced,
Everything the same, no brain matter abused,
Our choices are already made,
In ninety minutes clips on DVD.

So why should people and places survive technologies erasure?
Our pride was born in small towns like Pleasureville,
So all we’ve lost is us, no big deal.

You have a talent here that I’m sure I’ll see a lot of in the years to come. Very good eye and subject matter.

My pleasure for both being able to view your work and to recieve such a compliment, thank you

Soft feel to this beautiful image!

Beautiful!
