The lighting on this was really tough. I think I should have removed the polarizing filter as the cross in the foreground was totally black. I took a few exposures and tried to hdr them but I couldn't really get it right.

I ended up using the underexposed shot and then having the overexposed shot on a layer with a layer mask so just the cross in the foreground was showing.

It's not too bad but I am not 100% happy. Maybe I should have used the graduated ND filter tilted to the right. It's a local church so I'll go back and try again sometime!

Editing was still in advanced rules with no crop. If anyone has any suggestions how I could have edited it better please feel free to offer plenty of cc :)
