Wow, this is so surreal... I'm actually surprised this is just photography. What a great day to take the photo as well, the fog in the background gives such mystery to this place and slightly conceals the beauty of the mountain in the background leaving the architecture of the building(s) as the main subject which is well framed and amazing. I also like the alignment of the steeple with the peak of the mountain. I like it just the way it is, although some may say you could adjust the color/levels, but then it's not solely photography!
thank you very much for the favourite and this great comment! there were interventions with levels/curves/selective colors/contrast - the day was very dull, foggy, with very poor light. I had to process the photo to bring out the mountain in the background, and bring the colors to life. otherwise, this wouldn't be worth the space on my computer. anyway, I don't think this makes it any less a photography - I did nothing that wouldn't be possible in the analog realm by selecting the right film, and with some darkroom processing.
I was somewhat resistant to say anything regarding color, but advanced critique encouraged... I just thought since you had EXIF info, it must've been straight from your camera... I can't get my info to stay after PS. And post-processing doesn't take away from the art of photography at all, it just adds to the art of it. Either way, I love it! The foreground landscape has so much *pop to it, as compared to the duller colors of the rooftops and there's so much detail still to be seen in the mountains. Absolute brilliance.
What do you use for postprocessing? I don't use Save for web after I'm done with postprocessing in PS, so the exif stays If I use other tools - for blending HDR or stitching a panorama, then the exif gets erased by those tools. Or maybe it's better to say that the exif data has nothing to do with the result, so it doesn't even get recorded by that software
