 First Baptist Church of Philadelphia, PA. The sexton, BJ, let me in the sanctuary last week and turned on all the lights. Unfortunately, my filters were jammed onto my adaptor tube and I could not get them off. Of course I could have just taken the tube off, but somehow I did not think of that then.
Post: One step Photo Fix in PSP8. In PSE2.0, Rotate and Crop. Layer adjustments for levels, brightness and contrast and hue and sat. USM. Very noisy, ran through NeatImage. Cloned remaining noise. Resize, USM.
I came back to this after a few days and decided I did not like the schmutz over the top of the pipes and the level of the wood over the cross. I selected and did a distortion adjustment to even out the wooden areas of the pips. The schmutz I left alone. But there is now more emphasis on the pipes or the music part.

Nothing like a pipe organ. Great golden tone! Bumping up.

I love how sharp this is, because it really defines the lines. You've used the arch to frame the pipes perfectly... great eye! Wonderful job. 9

Interesting composition, but the arch seems a bit oversaturated - stealing focus from the pipes. This would have fit the "parts" challenge too I guess. 5 from me.
