Comment by LevT:
very nice. The hustling figure breaks the quiet repose of the church. Greece, I guees?

Ya know I really like this pic. I like how the banister of the stairs kindof curve in front of the building. It really draws the eye to the center of the building. Good job.

Nicely composed, good strong geometry. (Iraklis?)

I can feel the light pulsing and bending. Will I ever get there? And if I do, how could it possibly meet my expectations of the Brilliant Nothing?

I like the white on the light background. Nice.

I love the tone and contrast in this image. The building alone would have made a beautiful image, but the addition of the pilgrim is a touch of brilliance which takes this photo from good to great. Well done.

I could see this in National Geographic. Well captured.

Oh I love how this has a person in it! Usually shots of these type of places are so sterile and empty - the human element is lovely. The shadows work, too.

Great building, nicely done. (IMO, the presence of the person detracts a bit)

OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy). I'll be picking one of these images for my Mu (most underrated) award:

Positives: A masterclass in the use of light and shadow - the interplay of the highlights and shadows is marvellous. This would be a good image without the figure, but with them - it is lifted to another level.

Critical stuff: I think this could have stood a tighter crop on the left allowing for you to offer a bigger, higher image at 720px, I think a little could've come of the top too if we were going that way - drawing the eye more to the most interesting elements in the frame.

Overall: An great scene, well executed.
