 This is my first submission to DPC and also my first real encounter with Corel Photo Paint, as experienced through my rusty old iBook. So, forgive me my sins...

This was taken in the wonderful Stephansdom in the heart of Vienna, a magnificent cathedral, to which this shot does no justice whatsoever.

In post-processing I experimented with burning, adaptive sharpening, desaturation of the green channel and of course, cropping.

First impressions: There's a sense of strength here. The diagonal placement of the main subject helps with that.

Composition: Choice of angle for this shot I think works very well. It might even be improved if the main subject were placed at a steeper diagonal.

Exposure: For the most part the exposure seems pretty good though there is a bright spot in the lower left which draws the eye away from more interesting areas of the image.

Impact: I think the impact is drawn from the repeating patterns and use of the diagonal.

Keep shooting.

Cheers!
