Congratulations! ... luckily I had enough time before the deadline to get to vote on this. I think the lighting and DOF worked out fine -- any noise is no issue to me.

Well-balanced shot, good lighting too -- I like the use of half the dome of the ceiling to repeat the shape of the windows.

Excellent lighting/adjustment to hide the cross in the trees and isolate the figure, adding a layer of complexity the composition, in addition to the subject.

Excellent contrast in archtectural styles; If I'd been smart enough to take this I'd probably have titled it Yin/Yang
