 This is a section of the Unitarian Church in Fairhaven, MA. Probably one of the most photographed landmarks in that town. You could spend a couple of hrs trying to capture all of the details.

i need to learn how to properly dodge and burn. your contrasts do a nice job of conveying this gothic feel (gothic in the traditional sense lol). the only thing that is a distraction for me are the branches(?) on either side of the pic. Kind of runs into the details of the church. A cool pic!

I like the processing here a lot but the foreground branches are pulling for my attention. Overall a good shot indeed.

This is a lovely shot! The contrast is excellent. I hope you took more pics of this church...I'm sure no one would mind seeing more of it!

Wow!!!!!! And a couple of hours of studying the amazing detail in this photograph! It blows my mind thinking of the architects actually doing this work! It's beautiful! Photographed so well in black and white!

Nice take, the vignette works very well. Looks like a lovely building. Somehow this reminds me of post-war journalistic photos of small German towns. I don't know why. Very nice black and white.

i'm not sure i like the grungy treatment of this, and the branches in the foreground are kind of a distraction. it looks like a really really cool place to shoot, though. i'd like to see more!
