Hi Jeb! This is one of the most confusing challenges ever, to vote on at least. I couldn't find the distracting element in most of the entries. I don't see the Distracting Element in this composition. My best guess is the whatever-it-is on the right edge of the frame, but since it didn't distract my attention from the band it didn't feel like a distracting element. The composition is full of elements competing for my attention, but none of them feel like distracting elements. Maybe it was the light on the floor--to me a strong but not distracting element.

So...what was the distracting element?

BTW I like what you did in PP. Very clear light. Nice detail. Your work is getting a painterly feel to it that is quite nice & doesn't compromise the photographic nature of the shot.

Excellent detail and rich tones. The night shot and close-up both work for me.

This is very nice, I really like the focus on the top of the chapel and the exposure and focus are well done.
