A local church that I shot for a challenge way back. To get this much in I had to lay on the ground and lean my head against a light pole. I wonder what the the cars driving by thought. I wish I could have shot from a few feet farther back, but the light pole would have been huge and no way to clone that out.

You bracketed this hand-held? Steady hands, my lad! That vortex-feel to the clouds is subtle but dramatic. Terrific perspective.

Strength and power. Very good vantage point, I think. Nice PP, huge range of tones, fine detail and proper contrast. Very nice.

Nice light. Looks like God's fury up there above the steeple. Was there evil nearby??

Love the detail in the building in contrast with the fluffy clouds. B&W works well here. What was the color version like?

Great perspective and sense of symmetry. The sky makes a perfect backdrop to add interest and different shapes. Love the tones.
