Very unusual piece. What a great building, the rosace is lovely, the rays coming through create a great focal point for the shot. I think crop this image up almost to the dark shadow area and presenting it in a panoramic shape would make it even stronger.

A dramatic Winter landscape. Those sunbeam is so pretty and adds depth and life to this cold winter scene. Love the silhouette of the trees, that completes your composition. Well captured.

Comment from Levon7
A lovely view. The sun is nice, very bright coming through the rosace. I like the rays on the building. I can't really see the building too well. I love the fog on the right. Some trees shrouded and others a blur. It looks like there's a splattering of snow on the ground, it makes it more interesting to me. Very nice photo!

Fred,
A wonderfu; picture of the rising sun bursting through the Rose Window of the ruined Abbey Vaux de Cernay & making the surrounding dawn mist glow in the background. Artistic composition & lighting with superb camera techniques wit sharp focus.
Susan

Comment from braided
The rays are really lovely through the Rosace of the ruin of the old abbey
And it looks like a fog around the structure but i know the light kind washed out the landscape
but the rays really make this
Nice composition
Nice work

Comment from photogirl44
I love it. The rays shining through the building like a star. I also love the the way the sun is creating what looks like fog. Detail is a little fuzzy but overall a nice picture.

Comment from Mollie213
Nice, foggy and cold looking.

I like the sun effect, but
it ia a little too bright
for my taste.

It is a very viewable photo, but I'm having a problem with the sun kind of dimming everything else.

You know this is just my own simple opinion.

Thanks for sharing

Places always look magical when you get the sunrays laying across. Like the way you have caught it through the hole and spreads out in front
