Photographer's Note
Le site de Montserrat est perché sur les hauteurs de la chaine montagneuse la Sierra et est devenu au fil du temps le principal centre religieux de la Catalogne. On y vénère la vierge noire (La Moreneta) qui aurait été trouvé selon la légende par des bergers dans une grotte non loin de là.
Voici l'endroit ou les touristes/pélerins viennent bruler un cierge, j'ai trouvé le jeu de lumière curieux. J'ai cherché différents réglages en post processing pour finalement revenir à l'original avec uniquement un crop et un léger renforcement de la netteté de façon à durcir un peu les couleurs.

This photo comes from the monastry of Montserrat in Catalonia.This has become the main religious place of Catalonia and is located at the top of the Sierra Mountains.
Here are the candles that visitors can buy after having seen the statue of the "Black virgin" which was found not far away from this place by shepards acording to the legend. I found the game of lights and lines very interesting. After trying some postprocessing, I decided to come back to the original photo using only a crop and a sharpening lightly to boost the colours a bit.

I have seen many "church candle" shots but this one is quite special. I like the angle. the use of light and the clours. Well done. My only critique is that it looks a little too saturated as it gets closet to the lens. But it works.

Fine perspective with many subtle diagonal that converge. Nice arrangement of the colors in different fields.

Interesting composition and nice colors. Excellent perspective. I was also attracted to these candles, but your picture turned out better than mine. Regards, Yvonne

Hi Sebastien,
Nice photo, I especially like the lines. Great depth. However I think the saturation is a little too strong, saying that, I agree with ciggiebarbie. Also the sharpness could have been improved. You like this lens? I might buy it somewhere on the long time..
