Hah! You had the same idea as me, except I went to Salisbury! Thought about Winchester though, perhaps another time, another challenge...

One idea, assuming you shot this in RAW might have been to add a little more shadow in to give contrast and depth to what is definitely a very deep subject. Just a thought...

Do drop me a PM if you are shooting in Winchester again!

Focus seems soft a but too much everywhere, and the glass looks a bit to blown out. Great place to shoot, but technically needs more work

I was here!



Bit more contrast required for my taste, and the composition is a litle too 50:50 for me when RoT would work well

Just saw a similar picture without the stained glass ... it was squared up better than this one (though this isn't too bad). Would have liked to see more color from the stained glass, it's kind of uninteresting here.

Greetings from the Critique Club.

Hi Michal,

Congratulations on a new personal best. Well done. Helps make that new lens feel worth it.

An awesome perspective, although it takes a moment for the eyes to make sense of the it. I imagine you were near the very wide end of your focal range. You've got some nice interesting light and detail here. The focus looks a bit soft, which I think can largely be put down to the combination of your fast aperture and the huge depth of field in the image. I've found with my wide-angle that I get best results keeping the aperture between f/8 and f/10.

You sure have the Symmetry challenge covered, although it would have been better to have the far sides fo the image similar. My first thought was that a crop on the left would have done the job, but actually I really would have preferred a run of wall down the right edge to match the one on the left. I think this woul;d have served to draw the eye in on both sides, and really high-lighted the symetry in the image.

It is my hope that these insights are helpful and constructive. Please feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding this critique. And please remember to mark it "Helpful" if you found it so. Good luck with future challenges.

Cheers
Paul

I thought this was an awesome perspective and gave it a 9 during the challenge. Great lighting, colors, and repeating lines. I can't understand why anyone would give this a 1 or 2, but maybe the presence of the person in the far right made it not symmetrical to them - I don't get it!!! Great job.
