Great shot and amazing processing. Love the foreground branches breakign the view up and the texture of the brickwork and wood, nice shot indeed.

The natural light bouncing around and reflecting is so beautiful. It's sad to see what schools become. Great capture.

I would have scored this higher if you had included the full arch above the doors...otherwise a nice shot

Processed just enough to bring out the detail of the wood and brick, but it all still seems soft (that's a good thing) and calm. I half wish you had trimmed the branches, leaving only the ones that curve with the arch. The light coming through the inner window is gorgeous.

Very NikonJeb-ish in appearance, though I know it's not his.

This is fabulous. The textures, the angle, the colors, the choices you made with composition & processing are just exquisite. Best wishes for a top finish......9

I don't care for the HDR on this image. I think it would have looked better if you would have used lights instead of software to create this look. With lighting it looks more natural.

Like the glimpse of the inside; makes me want to wander over and peek in.
