Narrow streets and the cathedral

Comment by giantmike:
Interestingly, this is the exact orientation I would shoot this scene as well. To me, the cathedral doesn't make itself the subject, the horizontal line of buildings is the subject. It is a nice photo though.

I truly miss the spire. If it weren't for the challenge would you have cropped it?

The dramatic sky is nice and a plus to your photograph. However, I do think the shot is taken from to long of a distance to give me a feeling of abandon. I find the foreground catching my eye and then looking up at the sky. It would have been nice if you could have gotten closeup and taken a low point of view shot that included the building and sky. Try to keep your subject on the rule of thirds as well. Hope this helps.

At this distance it is difficult to get the sense of abandonment.

Looks more like the horizontal buildings are the subject, not the cathedral...

Great contrasts, details, nice atmosphere. Shame the top of the cathedral got lost somewhere. I hope they find it back very soon ;)

Like: The find, the water.
Dislike: That the clouds are grey :(

What went wrong with the people living there?

EDIT: I sensed this might have been Holland because of the grey sky and the canal. :)

Comment by dbosse:
too much contrast across the photo, too much difference between petals that are highlights and those at far right that are shadows.
