Would love some input on these couple photos.

This is the first time I have been in this cathedral.

I did not have much time to spend there. I would love to go back someday soon and just take my time to really look around.

The inside shot was done with the lights off and just the sun light coming in the windows. It was very dark in there.

Edited to add: I now see from looking at the inside photo there were some lights on under the windows and up top in the corners. It still seemed very dark in there without any other lights on.

The office is in another building next door. I went and asked them if it would be ok to set up a tripod in there.
After going through two people and a phone call along with being asked if the photos were just for personal use I got a "yes that would be ok". :)

I think they're great photos! But I don't have anything more helpful to say than that....

BUMP for someone more useful!

Were you the one asking wether or not to pick up that fish while it was on sale?

I like the church shot, but in general fisheye photos don't do it for me. Just not my cup of tea usually.

I did ask, but you maybe thinking of the last guy that was asking the day or so before the rebate ran out.

Thanks for the replies.
Now that I look at the inside photo more it seem to have a little tilt to the left.

It's alway's nice to hear that someone like them, but what I would really like is things pointed out to me that I maybe did not notice that if pointed out could help me do better next time.

For the first, I think I would like to see it without the tree branches on the sides at the top. Other than that, I love the detail and I think the fish eye works really well here.

On the second, I may have cropped a little more off the bottom - I find the white in the fabric on the altar a little distracting. Both are quite beautiful works.

Yeah, now that you say that them tree branches do get in the way.
I did a quick edit just to see what a difference it would make and I really like it better without the branches, thanks!!

Would have to remove the branches more from the brick building on the right, but it would look something like this..

I do see what you mean on the second photo too. Something I will keep in mind next time I am there.

thank you..
