This is nice. I like the imagination of colors this causes.

ahh... "Downward to darkness, on extended wings."
I know little of Divinity, but those are my own expectations; downward to darkness.

It's an architecturally pleasing photograph upon which I will bid a 7.

Real nice BW tones and composition.

one of favorites. I like the distortion tilting the bell tower and tree towards each other. Great tonal range IMO.

May be the first time I've seen Wallace Stevens quoted in a DPC title, though I almost used "casual flocks of pigeons make / ambiguous undulations as they sink / downward to darkness on extended wing" once, but it was too long and anyway I entered a different image :-)

The detail here is nice, the light's pretty blah though... I do like churches & graveyards though, and my variation of this motif tookm a top-10 in the first AA challenge.

Very nice and sharp. Tones are good, but the slight distortion does bother me in this shot.
