A lovely choice of subject but somewhat lacks impact IMO. It would help if you rotated the image a few notches to the right too. Excellent focus and choice of apeture... very well balanced! Best of luck in the challenge! :D

Cool architecture and quite clean for a night shot. You'd score higher with most voters by cropping more off the right and extending the black top & bottom for a vertical format. What's in the foreground? Looks almost like hooded Franciscan monks ;-)

Strong photo but for a mag cover? No.

Haven't I seen this shot before... Arnit? Looking back through the challenges I could roughly remember when it was! I liked the shot then, and I like it now.

It does seem to slant down at the left though, the black outlines of cars? are a bit distracting.

Great photo. It looks almost like it's CG. Nice touch that everything else is black but the church.

The image is not straight, so it looks as if the church is about to fall off a cliff.

(I'm writing this to everyone who submitted a landscape shot) The challenge was to produce a shot worthy of a magazine cover but to me a shot like this is not suitable to be put on a "portrait" format magazine.


---ADDITIONAL---
Due to forum discussions and accusations that marking landscapes down is nitpicking, I'm going through them and remarking. I still think some of the landscapes would not make good covers because of their orientation but I am no longer marking down because of that.
I still think landscape is inapropriate for the majority of magazines but I'll give the benefit of the doubt to the photographers.

dunno if this is the POV that makes it lobsided or what.

Is there really a magazine called this? The pic is tilted to the left. The colors are nice however.

Very nice light setting. Not sure what the black stuff infront is though.

The tilt of the church is somewhat distracting. Good night exposure though.

Like the lighting except for small light on left side. It is destracting from main image.

Nice idea, but how many magazine covers use the landscape format?

Fancy...

Wow! This is an awesome shot. This is top quality and pitch perfect. I'm going to give you a high mark; however, you may find others will mark you down for having a horizontally cropped image instead of a vertically cropped image. IT seemed to be an issue in the last magazine challenge.
