I feel that this picture would have been sooo much better if the window in the background was not blown out. It seems to be an important part of the picture but has no detail.

Beautiful scene, not quite sure about the blue monotone tho. Very well taken, well composed and excellent sharp focus.

Commentary:
Not much to say here but, Bravo friend. You did very well with this shot. This would be a print I would hang in my house. You did a very good job with everything. It is a tab bit blue but you caught the water in a great way. Nice leaves. The light is a bit Harsh but, there is no point deduction becuase it makes the picture. Wonderfull Job.

That's a beautiful structure and I like the perspective from which this was taken. The light through the large window seems a little blow out to me.

Very atractive angle. Good subject. Excellent image. Only detail is the flare on the window, which is hard to avoid, I know. Good, strong work.

Comment by sylandrix:
It must be the slow shutter speed combined with the blue tone that makes the water look almost solid, like blue silly putty, but effect gives the photo an offwordly feel. Brook is also nicely lighted and exposed. I would have cropped the trees on top and just have the waterfall section. Might have been a stronger composition.

Excellent shot. I love the angle and perspective, and the really nice blue colour. The water looks so nice and smoothe from the movement. Great photo!

Well taken photo. Sepia seems well used in this case. The glare in the stained glass - I don't know, it might be a good thing, but I just don't care for glare.

Nice hair cut ;)
I like the lovely big archway and the mood of this shot. Works well in BW.
Exposure feels off - too dark at very top and too blown out around stained glass window and roof of that area. I don't know that this would be easy to fix!!! It's a sure candidate for a PhotoShop job!
Like the way the arches at the right reflect the arch shape - nice light and shadow. Also like the sheen of the wooden pews and the positioning of the bloke.
Not what I'd call a postcard shot but interesting.
