Al Fresco

Despite the subject line, these are actually church frescos, but I didn't want to scare off the agnostics and atheists amongst us.

St Mary's catholic church in Mudgee is a lovely church and along the walls are twelve frescos representing the 12 stations of the cross (I'm assuming this, since they are numbered I to XII). I took pics of 8 of them (if I knew then what they were I'd have done all 12, but the church was fairly dimly lit & I only noticed the numbering when doing my PP). Anyways here are my fave four - stations 1,2, 9 and 12 . More from the chruch can be found HERE

Excellent colours, Peter.

There is something really artistic about the D2x colour renditions. :)

I agree with Trevor. Those subtle pastel shades have come up really nice.
An enjoyable sequence of images Peter.
Cheers
John

Thanks for the comments people.

Tim - I'd say the images DID do something for you - they put an image in your head about how weird it would be if you were Jesus :)

EDIT: And before you ask - these were shot solely using available light. The lights in the church were on, but no flash. These are a testament to the wonders of PP. Below is the untouched original of Station #12 above:
