The symmetry is perfect to lead you to the altar. The dark aisles contrast with the well lit center of the image.

Congrats!

Thanks to all ...might be a few ghost images -- but luckily it was more than a 2 minute exposure ....

I have to say that I am highly amused by the almost 'comic' radiating lines of the reredos in the apse.

The expected excellence and wonder Cjogo.

I very much like the shot, but can I ask, is it a scan from film? Because not being a film photographer other than a 35mm way back when, the large amount of speckles around the pews in the foreground, make me feel like I need to get in there with the spot healing tool, yet there are too many spots to heal. Is it film grain or speckles picked up during the scan I wonder, is it meant to be there or is it a mistake?

So yes, a great shot and great composition and symmetry, but as a digital only guy, I find the speckles make me feel uncomfortable, because I know I would feel compelled to spend several hours healing them out I suppose ???

So nothing wrong with the image, just my twitchy Photoshop forefinger I think.

Well exposed and composed image - it works very well in mono  - you've nicely captured a huge amount of detail that I think would get lost in a colour image.

You really never realize  >  just how filthy your processing /water supply was, in your darkroom, until you start HiRez scanning.  Every little detail shows up === this image has had lots of spotting already > I have a time limit on spotting ~ unless it is for sale.
