In Rome's Basilica of St. Augustine, evening light casts shadows on white, protective netting near the roof.

Very cool and well seen, Seamus.

The first is lovely, really like the play of light on the veils.

The second feels a bit too "truncated" at the bottom, and therefore falls short of the first.

I agree with Slobodan, a nice image (first).  I imagine, it would work well in b&w too.

I agree - the second one is truncated. I only posted it to give the first one a bit of context.

To quote a famous statement: "Photographing is nothing. Looking is everything." That's looking, Seamus.

Finally back in Manitou Springs -- just in time for a snowstorm.
