ST. IGNATIUS AT TWILIGHT [Silhouette Photographs Art Silhouette Pictures]
Uploaded: December 26, 2011 02:38:10
I found this spot on last Christmas Eve by accident. I came back here to capture sunset this time, but I realized that the church building would be just a silhouette since the sun sets behind it. I had to wait until the building was lit. But at least I could get some pink hue in the lower sky. Photographed at St. Ignatius Church, San Francisco.

Your dedication to correctly making this awesome creation has truly paid off. Not only did you capture exquisite lighting and twilight colors mirrored in the reflection, but everything is absolutely perfect --composure, sharpness and clarity. The tonality and lighting of both the church and the twilight is magnificent. Congratulations on your well deserved POTD, Alex!!! Hope to see this again in the winner's circle. #9922101Stanley C.
