I like the detail you've captured in the low doors and arches and the way the left tower fades off in the mist. Having shot quite a few pictures of this cathedral myself, and not been very happy with the results, this one shows how I might have done it. Was it taken with a very wide lens? 21mm, maybe? (snip) >http://www.leica-gallery.net/k1gd/image-80189.html Thanks for the comment. It was taken with my 24mm Elmarit R and my R8. This is such a massive structure, and it is indeed a tough subject to get on film. I took about 2 rolls of it, and this so far is my favorite for the same reasons, the detail and the tower fading into the mist. I bought the 24 just before leaving for Germany and Poland and this was its first real trial. I think it was a good purchase. Now to learn how to use it better. Gene
