| Since the theme for the challenge was "Architecture", this rendition is much more suited to the theme. I do agree, a priest, nun or worshiper posed off center left and not blocking any delightful architectural details would make an excellent 'Evironmental Portrait'. It is totally dependant on the intent of the photograph. Both images are well lighted, composed, and captured. Had I been available to vote on this challenge, I would have given a 10 for this one. Well done! |

| I agree with you that a person would furhter improved this already good photo. I think it should definitely have been a solitary worshiper sitting somewhere on the benches relatively close to the camera. It would add a human element and also add a pleasant "symmetry breaking" to the shot. In the original shot, the person was blocking the altar and was too symmetrically located. Also, her pose was not exactly what you would expect in a church. |

Correction to the original photo reference in your notes:

FWIW, I think BOTH are awesome! If a human subject would add interest, it would be someone swinging from one of the lights - THAT would make it perfect! :) |

| I like the improvements you've made here. This one does look better. I like how I can see more of the benches although I think you could have made them even brighter by dodging them just a bit. I also like the crop. It seems to make the church ceiling look higher than the original did. Removing the person also makes a big difference, however I think the problem in the original with that was who the person was. I bet if she was an old fragile looking woman it would have worked but with the younger one in that pose it made it look like a tourist photo. |

| scarbrd, right? Nice, very nice improvement. Got rid of the distraction in the aisle and the composition is much better in this one. I like the feel of the shot overall. The only thing that bothers me betweent this one and the original is the original looked a bit brighter and whiter. But otherwise, much better. I would have given the original a 5, this one gets a 7 for improvement and just cuz it deserves it! ;) |

| This looks like it was a hard picture to take with the extreme difference in contrast, but it looks great! |

| The contrast between the light ceiling and the dark pews is quite strong. processing the pews separatly to show slightly more detail should help with this |

| The clean view up to the altar and the color of the floor make this a much better shot than the first. I think having a viewer taking in the scene was a great idea, but it didn't work in the setting. I like this a lot better. |

| Not a abd shot, nice lines and curves but it's a little too dark in the lower part of the shot, where it blends into one due to lack of contrast. |

| I think the white in the ceiling and arches doesn't do justice to the architecture, maybe taking it with less light and more shadows. |
