The Dom in Koln... One of my favorite churches... Never saw it at night, what great lighting.

Congrats on the Red, Oliver! Absolutely stunning image.
Your processing looks amazing (as usual)... would love to see the original. Great choice on the title - it really adds to the majestic feeling of the shot!

Dramatic view and subject. Black border is a bit strange.

Photo would look amazing at the size of a billboard.
