| Very happy to see that the view from my office window could land me a 2nd place this week!!! Actually, I have to walk a few cubicles away to get the right angle. It was shot pretty much "at level" from the 22nd floor of tower 49 in Midtown Manhattan. In terms of composition the choices are pretty much limited to using the 2 St-Patricks towers and 3 buildings in the background vs. 1/2 like I did here. Shot with a 190 mm zoom (300mm effective) zoom at 5.6 f-stop with 350th speed to avoid blur (typically even better at 500th) - ISO 200. Black and white was much more effective as it enhances the contrast of the church. Thanks for all the comments and feedback + votes!! |

| I'm not sure that B&W works well for this photo, but I do like the theme. |

| I like the bw and the strong vertical lines of this. The steeple really provides a contrast with that, in more ways than one. karmat |

| wow. graphically incredible.id like church top to go higher in the frame so it doesnt seem quite so small in comparison to the sky scrapers but that may have been a cropping limitation. mag99 |

| Excellent composition! One of my favorites this week....I'd like to see this photo in color if you decide to post after the competition. (Just curious what color is added by these buildings.) |

| Being an atheist, I have trouble deciphering which is which in this photo. (I could swear I've seen a similar shot somewhere before.) |

| I like the simplicity of this! Were you able to try different angles to get the buildings and church on different lines? |

| i like this, but then again, i wouldn't say the church is "heaven" when there are priests around :) |

| I love this one - great concept and execution. I love contrasts and this one is very well done. Beautifully un-cluttered and simple. Exposure is bang on. Focus is good. I just cant quite decide if this is best left in B&W or if some kind of colour contrast would help things. Perhaps have the steeple in colour and the rest B&W? Outside the scope of this competition, though. |

| wow... this image speaks many volumes to me... first of all, i love the contrasts. The black and white was an excellent choice for this photo. I won't go into my theological relevance of this photo, but I can tell you that it works well for me :) Croporations swallow a lot of things, including faith, religion, and churches :) = great shot.. one of my favorites this week :) - jmsetzler |

| Nice shot, great framing to contrast and bring out the steeple. Only suggestion would be to frame it down a little bit. |

Even though the dark building is in front of the light one, the light one seems to
"come forward" and it creates an unpleasant sensation. |
