I like the position you shot this from, however it appears as if the original was too dark and you tried to compensate in post. I think the basic editing rules really held this photo back.

A little overexposed

Lovely interior shot of a cathedral with good depth and taken from a nice angle drawing the eye in. Good exposure with nice detail, color and lighting. It conveys the feeling of silence and also vastness very well. 8

I like your vantage point and all the colors, very nice! It looks a little over sharpened (?), though.

Great way to meet the challenge. The front of the church is too oof for my taste. The emptiness helps add to the silence.

A little bit of noise in the colors. Wonder how it would look b&w... nice that you got low for it rather than the standard height.

The lighting in this image is first class & the solemnity of the location conveys silence beautifully.

You've done a wonderful job controlling the exposure, in what looks to be a tough shot. Very nice.

Mac,

Great perspective, composition, color range.... wish the image wasn't so grainy, though, or maybe oversharpened...?

Personally, churches and cathedrals don't elicit silence for me. There are still ambient noises I can hear in my mind. It's a good picture though. But the center doesn't seem sharp/in focus.

Love the aspect and exposure. 8

I do not understand, in my modest opinion, the link with the silence, at least not so clear, maybe If there was someone to pray...

Great concept - no doubt that you have effectively conveyed silence. This idea has been done so well recently - see Best of 2008, so you may be marked down a bit. A little soft for my taste.
