This image is unashamedly something akin to a scene from ‘the animated ‘Hunchback of Notre Dame’.

The Greek Orthodox Church of the Nativity is a long way from Paris and maybe some might call the HDR rendering a blasphemy but I really wanted to try something different. With its almost animated look it feels much more ‘European’ than ‘South Australian’. I intentionally kept the colours muted with attention to the blues, greys and the soft texture in the sky.
