I find the image, framing and subject matter very appealing. I'm a sucker for catherdrals, and this is a classic offering of something we don't see here much in the "new world". One comment, and please take it in the most positive way, is that the sky could be "enhanced" to add more drama and contrast. I did a very rudimentary editing of the image [my, how very bold he is....] to illustrate what I'm suggesting: http://members.rogers.com/jmcdesigns/jamesstreet/fother.jpg My close-cropping of the sky to do this was not done as carefully as a "real" editing process would be done, but I also don't have the full-res version. And of course, it is a matter of taste as to how one likes contrast, drama etc in their images. A more subtle contrast upping may be more acceptable to others.... I hope you don't mind my taking liberties with your creative process, the results of which I've greatly enjoyed. Cheers, Jim
