 There was some really good light as the sun was setting. I had just dropped my daughter off at acting and decided that I would try to get some pictures of local churches. This is a Roman Catholic Church in our town. It is huge and the inside is amazing even with its lime green walls.

Churches are very cool to photograph, but I can never seem to do it right lol. The perspective is awesome and I am just loving how you got the details to pop out so beautifully. The contrast is excelllent!

It's really wierd on this one - it seems that this building is leaning - and i am not sure why? I think it has to do with the crop on the left being ever so slightly different than that on the right

because of it, i think you have added just the right and necessary level of tension to keep our interest - if intentional then "You AWESOME"

The thumb made me feel this would be a boring image, how wrong I/it was! Love the perspective and the entire church just pops! Your right, you had excellent light for this shot.

You show the almost relentless and restrained brickwork as well as the medallions with representational art with equal favour. I think about the builders, the designers, the artisans and the community that caused this to rise just so.

Cool old church, I like the close, looking up perspective.

You remind me that rich detail, especially in this the age of digital photos viewed on screen, often draws a viewer.

interesting church and architectural detail. wish there was a bit more below the bottom arch, seems clipped to me.

Beautiful detail in this - looks to be a lovely structure. But lime green walls in the inside??

Unfortunately, I didn't have a wide enough lens. This church is huge and I would have loved to get the entire front in it. My camera was on the ground here. I wanted a dramatic upward perspective. In the future I can move back further and capture the entire front but it wouldn't be the same perspective obviously.

Wow, Amanda! This is beautiful. The thumb so doesn't do this justice. It looked pretty in the thumb, but when you open it up, there is such amazing texture in that brick -- and the detail in the circular thingys -- STUNNING!
