First attempt at a DP challenge. Shot this in a busy Glasgow Cathedral. Very lucky to get the shot with no one in it. Had to wait a while. Have lived in Glasgow for 4 years and this was my first time inside.

I thought this suited sepia because of the dark tones and contrast.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks.

Nice, but kind of dark

A little dark overall. The flowers jump out because they're white but not much else. If you could dodge and burn you could bring down the brightness of the flowers and bring up the rest, but of course you can't in basic editing.

I can't tell if the mood is supposed to be somber or festive.

This seems a little too dark to fully appreciate all the detail that's here. This is well centered.

Great subject, seems a little underexposed though.

Too dark to see the fine architectural detail...I realize you may be going for a theme, hence the darkness, for that matter, I guess it probably looks different on your monitor than mine...6.

May be a tad lighter?

I wish it wasnt as dark.

under exposed. shadows are lost.

A nit too gloomy, and the slightly off centre composition doesn't really work.

a little dark on my end.

I really wish you had used some fill light. I get the sensation that the altar area has some nice details, but it's too dark to see them.
