 My wife and I live in an area of Spokane called Browns Addition. Its one of the oldest neighborhoods in Spokane. This church is just down the street from our apartment. I noticed the light on the cross as I was getting off the bus and snapped off some photos.

Fantastic mood. Great use of the a low key foreground. The blown out sky adds great contrast in mood.

Very moody capture...Maybe a bit more dodge on the brickwork would make it jump.

This has quite a bit of impact, but even before I read the comments I wished the cross and surrounding were lit up a bit. I look forward to seeing more of your photos in this challenge.

I'd say this doesn't quite make it. It very nearly does though, and I think you might get a similar and better shot ne of these days. Maybe with raked sunlight just picking out the cross and some more white stuff - the dark, foreboding building against the busy sky is good.

PAW - Good capture. I like the texture on the clouds overhead. Adding to SandyP's comment I wonder if a narrow-beam 6v lantern flashlight shining up on the cross would make it look more glowing without being too obvious.

I really like the angle, although, I agree it's a little dark

I thought it looked spooky too. Interesting juxtaposition.

It's beautiful how the cross stands out -- like it is divinely lit :) I love that composition. It makes it look larger than life.

The church looks a bit dark on my monitor also. Perhaps if you tried bringing out the highlights more on the building with shadows/highlights control, or adjusted the curves some then you could get the church to look brighter

Looks somewhat dark on my monitor, but the sky is beautiful.
