I've discovered neat image. I hope I didn't use it too much. I love how its helped my image. I'm not going to be nearly as worried about using high ISO when it's called for

Wow, the light in this is just majestic, "shining from above." Great composure too. The lack of DOF in the front is worrying. Did you focus only on the cross at the top of the arch? If you shot it in Aperture priority give it at least 2 more stops, maybe 3 and get out that tripod if you didn't already. I use the timer or a small after market qireless remote control to fire the camera to prevent camera shake when pressing that shutter button.
Your eye for detail in this shot was really superb, keep 'em coming Dan.

centered compositions look much better when they are perfectly symmetrical..moving camera position one step to the left would have made this a more appealing image.

IMO I would have liked to see a super sharp capture of this with your exposure bumped up just a bit...

Candles are out of focus and it all looks a bit naff.
