CPT MkII, clocking in.
Not very familiar with religious establishments but if I see correctly, you wish to give the impression that the two statues, had they not been inanimate, have travelled faaaaaar and away and have arrived at this particular edifice, is that about right?
LOL, if it is. Droll humour, yeah. The lighting's a bit flat, though, innit? Also, the whole thing lacks punch. A different angle, perhaps, or recomposition? Whatever man, it's an okay photo all in all. |

From CTP2 Gunnsi
First impression: Beautiful church, somebody standing in the way of it and what is that building in the left?
What is good?
1. Focus, contrast and light are all good.
What can be better?
1. I am not sure it was a good choice to make it B/W, I miss the blue sky.
2. Maybe skip a bit of the left of the church and trying to have the statues a bit higher and more to the right.
3. Use fill flash on the statues. |

Hi Alex!
This looks like a beautiful old church (basilica?)! No one does it quite like the Europeans, I think. Excellent choice of subject here. I like the aged b/w treatment.
There are some blown highlights on the face of the building and I think it's a diffuser or a polarizer that would help with that? I honestly don't remember which since I don't own that sort of equipment at this point. I wish I could see the top of the temple or, as an alternative, see a tighter crop with less height - at least then it would look like a more deliberate choice, less like you just ran out of camera space. In the lower left there's a darker gray strip of road or sidewalk that is a little distracting, I don't think anything would be lost by cropping it out. |

From CTP2:
I commented during the challenge, but I'll look a little closer Ü.
I like the duotone effect in this. It works well. The subject you picked is good - lots of interest. The statues at the front are sort of growing on me, but maybe if you would have included just a tad more of them, so they didn't look so cut off? And somehow lit them a little more so they weren't quite as dark? I like what you were trying to do, though, and they do give the photo some perspective.
Overall a nice shot. |

Greetings from CTP2
Good choice on color treatment. Composition-wise, I like how you included foreground and background elements which gives the image depth and interest. I'm not sure I like the perspective of the building but I'm not really sure how you could fix that within this particular composition (with the statues) or using basic editing.
Btw, I do like the statues in there and they are level so it equalizes the building tilt somewhat. Other than that I like the photo. The color and detail is pleasing. The statues themselves add some contrast and a focal point that leads you up the image.

| Good choice for conversion to black and white. I would have either lit the statues in the foreground a little more so that you could make out the details in them, or moved forward to exclude them from the photo. As it is composed now they're a little distracting. |

| Interetsing, not sure if I like the inclusion of the statues or not. Needs to be rotated right just a bit. |

| The figures in the forground are sort of disctracting imho. I really like the intricate stone work over the door. |
