| Not to take anything away from this image, but I don't think the "skewing" you mention in your notes is allowed by normal DPC editing rules. |

~ Critique Club Comment ~
Composition : I don't know if anyone mentioned this, but GREAT job with the framing :) It may or may not have been nice to move a tad to the right so the left side of the Chapel was in frame, but I certainly don't think the shot was hurt by the position you took. The steeple climbing into the frame was a master stroke. Very well done composition!
Exposure / Lighting : I like the exposure very much. The frame has enough detail to peak interest, but fades nicely to a pure black of a "border". Kind of a "Where does the picture end and the frame begin" kind of thing. The Chapel, grass and sky are all nicely exposed as well. Did you have to wait long for those clouds? They really made the shot for me.
Focus : Your choice of aperture gave you nice focus on the dark details of your frame as well as keeping the building well focused. Great job.
Post Processing : The bottom border you added looks so much a part of your natural frame that it gave the illusion of "border or framing?" that many commented on. Well done.
Challenge / Wow : No problem imagining this sitting in the Harvard bookstore. You may even want to print up a few as postcards and see if any local tourist vendors want to sell it.

| Very postcardy, and technically speaking a beautiful shot. The only thing that kept it at 9 and not 10 for me was a lack of a certain spung, that magic 'Wow!' spark. But I have to save 10s for *something*, right? :-> |

| Nicely done. At first I thought the boarder was something different but you have blended it super well and makes a very effective frame. |

| Good idea with the natural framing. The composition is good, the text doesn't distract from the main image, and on top of all that you caught yourself a nice sunny day too. |

Nice shot! I almost went to Harvard Square myself, then thought to do something else!!! ;0)
I like the silouette of the opening that effectively frames the school/church. Nice clear image.. and great colors. |

| Excellent shot. Where's the rest of the chapel. The framing is great, but is it possible to get the rest of the chapel (the left side.) |

| Nice image, just wondering if the outline is a structure, filter or a mask. |
