Nice entry. Did you use a PC lens? The perspective looks distorted.

Perspective appears a little overly corrected, but the image has excellent tonality. Good Work.

Came back for a second and third look at this one. IMHO the only zone missing is the white. BOL Bumed this up to an 8

Very sharp image. I think your sky is too dark though. It's not credible.

Excellent clarity in this image. My mind wants to see more of the setting around the outside of the church building, including the bottome of the steps. I love the photo.

Come back on a day with some clouds and you've got a killer shot. With what you have, there are great tones and good lighting. Nice job!

Good selection of subject. Nice lighting, good viewpoint and cropping. There seems to be some problems with wide angle lens distortion and that the image has been altered in post processing causing strange vertical lines near the edges. -6

The tonal range and the treatment of the skyhere are uber-ansel, congratulations. The composition itself, with the lack of breathing room on all sides, is distinctly lackluster. In particular, we really need more foreground, quite a bit more.

This is the first photo I've seen that really captures Adams' style. Very nice use of tones, and thanks for not blowing out your highlights! 9
