From the Critique Club :

Hi Zeke ,

I notice that it's the second time that you submit a photo taken in the same place , your wish to have someone praying has come true.
I prefer the other composition , maybe more classical but this one is interesting too.
I'm sure that viewers/voters have appreciated the presence of the prayer , that gives strength , a relation between human beings and holiness.
The colors are warm , they help to create the atmosphere , it would have been fantastic if there were less light outside to see better the stained-glass windows. And hard to work with the inside lights , you have done it very well !
Maybe to avoid the "distracting" effects you could have centered the attention in the altar zone but it would have been more like your "Sanctuary" , I suppose you preferred to do something different in this challenge.

A very good job !

Fantastic image, but the distortion is a bit distracting. Still a 9

Very nice. I like the wide angle feel to it and the one lone person with his head bowed.

would like to have seen more of the front than the seets as it looks very interesting, but it is difficult to get the light in these places

I am guessing you used a fisheye lens maybe with this. Looks well thought out in composition, sharpness and lighting.

The wide angle distortion is a little distracting, but overall a nice photo.

A tad too much...my eyes arent drawn to one thing but bounce around the whole image.

Gorgeous church though.
