Shot in raw. Converted, really only played with hightlights and colour balance.

Went for a stroll around the Cathedral one morning. The priest was there and allowed me open access. It was quite interesting for all the nooks, bends, and little rooms.Especiallly corners where the light came through windows.
Don't imagine this will do well - I'm sure someone will mention the "yellow" tones (which I decided to leave in) and the wall on the left side (cropped - it didn't have the same effect)- forget htat I ended up cropping it anyway

So, who's the guy on the photo? It can't be a church figure, it has a beard. It looks more like the European scientists from the XIX century.

Cropping the photot to the arch would have worked better in my opinion

Now that's nice! Blown out in the glass window but you can't have both in basic editing anyway. Nice take on the challenge.

Great lighting and mood.....I love the warm tones and texture of the bricks. Composition is wonderful too. The angles of the shadows and upper wall add great interest as well.

I thought the toilet was the seat of divine inspiration... must explain why it doesn't work for me that well! Nice Shot!

Good exposure. I like the light/tones. Not really sure where to look, doesn't quite draw your eye to the chair. Perhaps try shooting from lower down, using the floor to draw you in to the rear of the frame? Good effort.

Back to comment: The lighting in this image gives it great depth. If the chair had been on the same level as the landing in front of it, this would have been in contention for my favorite in this challenge. As is, nicely captured and worthy of an 8.
