This abbey photographs naturally with this heavy blue tint, I assume because of the blue glass in the windows. The monk is in front of the altar with his back to the camera.

Cool. I like the blue colour cast, the repetition of the windows and the lines they imply along with the ceiling bows and the rows in the ground. The reflection in the floor gives it a modern touch. You chose an interesting perspective. 9.
This is one of my favorites from this challenge. Its wonderful to see a good example of "improper" white balance being used in a creative way. I love how the walls seeem to have an internal glow. Very appropriate for a church. very well done.

I've sung in those choir stalls on several week long retreats with the gracious brothers of the Abbey. Never Waldo was hiding out among the monks. Cool capture!
