It was really interesting to read the comments, approximately 50% liked the horizontal orientation and the other 50% thought that I should have rotated the image 90°. The truth is, I actually thought that the "right" orientation is the portrait one, but when I tried it, I somehow didn't like it. It lost the details and the punch. Then I decided to go for this "strange" rotation. The image was taken at La Almudena Cathedral in Madrid, Spain during my business trip. I had only my "tourist" camera with me, I shot handheld, supporting on the church bench. I never thought I had any real chances in this challenge, but my wife liked the image amd me myself was actually pleased with the pic once I downloaded it and processed. So I decided to go for it.
Thanks a lot for the votes and the comments, shoot and prosper!

Appeal: 5
Challenge: 4
Overall Score: 5 - (weighted - NOT a calculated average)

The 90° rotation fails here for me anyway. Othwise an interesting shot and technically well done.

Interesting ceiling, but you should have turned the picture - it looks like shelves in the store..

Like the shot but you have it turned the wrong way so I had to take your score down just a bit.

Excellent angle of view! creating an abstract with waves of color. This image would benefit greatly with HDR, imo.

This needs to be posted in a comprehensible orientation. Sorry this doesn't work and too bad because is has real interest otherwise.

this looks like it should have been rotated 90 degrees. I keep wanting to turn my head sideways to look at it!

interesting tilt....

I would have rotated this 90º, it just seems odd this way. Nice architecture.

Very interesting perspective.
