 This cathedral is 1100 years old and dominates the skyline of the town. It smells like melted wax and there is a wonderful and scary crypt. If I am lucky enough to get a critique club comment, you should know that I'm not trying to convey any special meaning here - just wanted to show something old. I liked that there is an old person in the front pew. Hopefully that adds to the "something old" theme.

I photoshopped this maybe too much :-) Curves, curves, levels, curves, more curves, ... little burn and dodge, well, you get the idea.

I love the colours here too. It's a really fantastic photo that illuminates the whole cathedral. Great shot.

I like it. It seems to be about the anatomy of the cathedral, whereas the common treatment seems to be more about the mood. The anatomical approach has its own charm and interest. Another appealing point is the effect of the uneven light on the two opposite sides of the structure; they look at first quite different, but save for one or two embellishments, they turn out to be nearly the same. Nice work.

I like the lighting and perspective, although it seems tilted to the left just slightly.

Gorgeous shot. Love the feeling of depth and height. The golden color on the right side is very nice - the light on the left side is just a bit harsh, I think.
