 Salisbury Cathedral, UK

The cathedral is 750 years old, but the font was only added in the last 12 months, after over 100 years without!

I realised after I took this that I should have been a few mm to the right to get perfect symmetry, but I couldn't get another gap in the crowds that were admiring too.
I was really lucky to get this frame without people in, as I was using a 10mm lens.

I had to take a second look at this! It really does look like a drawing - "the font", which I've never heard of previously is really, really cool! Well done on a cool shot!

This looks like one of those cleverly done 3-D drawings - VERY cool use of the wide angle and processing to create that!

Good use of this effect. I love it when someone can take two cliches and make them interesting together.

That's a lake of holy water or am I seeing something that isn't?

The processing on this one is really cool... looks like a drawing. I hope you describe your processing steps, cause this is something I would like to try out.

Very cool, this has an optical illusion feel to it.
