This is a truly beautiful church and a great capture of the serenity it must instill just being there.

Another breathtaking image which walks the imagination through the corridors of time. Congratulations on your Red.

I'm late on my rounds. This is gorgeous. I do SO wish I could libve where such majestic, monumental religious architecture abounds. On Cape Cod there is no such thing as a meeting-place of grandeur. These were simple people and they built simply.

Wow! I cannot wait for a chance to visit Europe to see beautiful buildings such as this one.

jeez-louise, my friend! i think that if the day ever came that i signed on to dpc and *didn't* see your name on the front page...well never mind, that would mean the world has come to an end, and i doubt i'd be anywhere near this place. :)

Good job to keep the details in this difficult exposure. Wonderfull shot!

Post actions
Any chance you'll pull a Lance Armstrong and retire? :P

The first thing that pops out is the mood you captured. The ambient lighting you captured in your exposure really makes the photo. Btw, I think I've seen this church before in another entry. Perhaps one of Rikki's? Anyway, gets a 9 from me.
Post actions
humm a gothich or renaissance style church.. my history of arts teacher would go crazy if he knew I cant tell!! sure cant wait to see wich it is whene this is over :) by the way.. like the photo a lot :)
Post actions
Post actions
excellent...you sure you are in the right challenge? The Holy Places Challenge was just to the left... ;-) excellent light and clarity...well done 9

Post actions
Is this you Gary? An awesome picture on way or the other. Should be up there. The question is whether it will be above or below mine. ;) The impression of depth and juxtaposition of both the light windows and darkened vaults is superior. 10
Post actions
The processing looks like what Kiwiness has been working on lately. It is just on the edge between reality and drawing. Pretty cool effect imo. The intererior looks European and the way it is decorated it could be Lutharian ~ German...
Post actions
Wow, what a classic, powerful photo. Well done.
Post actions
Beautiful light! Great perspective.
Post actions
Wonderful and well composed photo!
Post actions
Not a big fan of the HRD/oversharpened thing you've got going on in the ceilings but I love the picture in general
Post actions
"WOW" this is such a great shot.....
Post actions
Nice depth of field, the framing draws the eyes right to the focus point.
Post actions
What an amazing church, quite a nice shot.

wonderful lighting in this picture!

I like your angle. The reflections on the tops of the pews (sp?) is very nice. Good job.
Post actions
This is simply fantastic. Great use of available light. I look forward to seeing where this is.
Post actions
I like the way you took the photo from pew-height. Lovely colours and architecture.
Post actions
Good perspective. Post processing looks good.
Post actions
Just a beautiful image, impressive place!
Post actions
Nicely composed, great exposure and terrific lighting. I like the wide-open feel that you created with this capture. Almost every object in this one works to pull the eye around and through the entire image.
Post actions
This is my favorite photo for the challenge. I have a thing for old churches and cathedrals. Nice use of the existing lighting. Almost makes the photo feel more like a painting.
Post actions
Very beautiful tones and lighting. The composition is very interesting also. Very nice!
Post actions
I think I know who's this is. Kiwi? Great shot and beautiful colors.
Post actions
This one is totally different , surely the best in this challenge.

Beautiful capture, love the gloomy meets glorified style.

Excellent job here. Very strong lines in the composition, and lighting is terrific.
Post actions
Kiwiness had a photo that looked something like this just a few weeks ago.
Post actions
Beautiful image. The light is wonderful, it almost looks like a painting. 10

Great creative light; dodging and burning I presume, but its nice, smooth, classic look here.
Post actions
Post actions
This is an elegant image.
Post actions
Wow! Beautiful, the lighting in this shot is wonderful.
Post actions
Very nice. I like the perspective and it almost has a soft quality to it. DIfferent from the usual flower or jumping kid. Nicely done and quite artistic. 8
Post actions
What a great angle, and the lighting is perfect.
Post actions
good comp....seems like you knew where you wanted to go for this challenge but the light didn't quite cooperate.....still very nice
Post actions
Impressive architecture study. Love the shapes formed by the arches, windows and columns.
