 Wow ! This is so far my best score and finishing place !

Thanks to you all for your votes and for all these nice comments.

La Basilique Notre-Dame de Montréal is such a beautiful place. I invite you to take a look at my PBase gallery for other pictures I took before this challenge was announced.

For those who wonder ... Yes we are allowed to use a tripod in this Basilica.

I was being conservative. I thought this would have placed a bit higher. Just call this the challenge of fine details!

Lovely exposure and the composition works great. Hard to not see this place in the top 5. Gets a 9.

HOw'd you do that? No tripod? And they let you take pictureS? I always get waved away when I try and take a picture.

Nice job. Excellent clarity, lighting and focus. A touch wider I think would have really made this picture

I will be totally suprised if I don't see this shot on the front page of the results! Beautifully shown.

Amazing that you were able to capture all that detail without introducting jagged edges, jpeg compression problems, or any of the other technical problems these types of photos usually encounter.

The angle up draws ones attention and the blue really stands out.

Beautiful shot.

Wow - Love the detail and the framing. I know there are a few from the same place but this is the pick of them to me. Got my highest score in the challenge.

WOW!!! Amazing architecture, beautiful lighting, the blue and yellows really go together. They sure knew how to build churches back then, didn't they? I really wish this were straight on, though, instead of at a slight angle. I am assuming there were things in the way that prevented you from getting a straight on photo. Still high marks from me though.

This is a splendid photograph. Everything is working, lighting and composition. Nice photography! This is my choice for blue. It looks as if it could be on the front of a puplication or card. Very professional. Excellent work by this photographer.

Breathtaking! Makes my shots looks sooo lame.

WOW! I wish the rest of the arch at the top wasn't out of the frame though.
