    A very interesting building presented as an architectural study. The inclusion of the people works well to establish scale. Excellent work in the PP arena to counter vertical-line distortion inherent in such cases. Well done.

    Textured and rich-looking! Like the perspective a lot! clap.gif
    The crop looks a bit tight at the top left to my eye Richard, but no biggie.

    Excellent Architectural with good textures.

    I can't stop looking at the tree on the lower right. Perhaps moving to the left would help.

    Great architectural study here. thumb.gif The building has great diagonals and the arches are a bonus. Without knowing what is NOT in the picture it is always difficult to talk about the preferred crop, but having said that the crop is a little tight to me on both sides and the building seems to want to "breath" more. Perhaps you can fill us in as to what is out of sight?

    Thanks everyone for your feedback. I agree that the framing is too tight. TBH, I don't remember whether there was any good reason for that. If I had known the shot would turn out as well as it did I might have paid more attention rolleyes1.gif. In fact (confession time), the original was even worse--the topmost part of the church was touching the edge of the frame, so I used a little PS sleight-of-hand to add just a bit of sky. The perspective was corrected in LR, which works surprisingly well most of the time.
