lovely. I'd have cropped a smidgeon off the left side to even it up a bit, but it's lovely.

Not voting yet.

The lighting in this looks so cool and eerie, you chose a great time of day to shoot it.
03/17/2009 12:51:54 AM
this is just for five from me, its not very lit and the crop is a bit too close for my taste... ;D

take care,
brano

Good night shot of this cathedral... the lighting is good. Too bad about the overcast sky though, i think this would be better had the sky been stark black.
03/16/2009 06:38:06 PM
the green of the trees takes away from the mood of the image. Though that... cathedral? is quite imposing
03/16/2009 04:00:51 PM
Gorgeous night shot.
03/16/2009 06:50:06 AM
Great lighting in this nicely captured and processed image.
03/16/2009 04:55:05 AM
good capture, but fails to have that appeal that can interest me
03/16/2009 12:13:42 AM
Awesome capture and presentation. Gorgeous.
03/15/2009 11:47:47 PM
nice night shot
03/15/2009 08:32:30 PM
Well done. Eerie looking.
03/15/2009 05:35:49 PM
I like the exposure.
03/15/2009 11:59:32 AM
Good POV
03/15/2009 09:31:30 AM
Nice capture, great color and detail.
03/15/2009 09:14:25 AM
Sorry, this just seems foggy to me, well composed and like the framing elements..
03/15/2009 06:12:11 AM
Beautiful shot...
03/15/2009 06:08:12 AM
What a pretty glow on the cathedral. The framing by the trees works well. Not so sure I like the orange sky but it's probably like that in real life.
03/15/2009 03:12:25 AM

Love the lighting on this, and the orangish glow to the sky.

I really like the rich tones in this.
03/14/2009 02:43:32 PM
A majestic capture with light and sky very unusual.
03/14/2009 01:27:22 PM
Interesting lighting. Very nicely done. 7
03/14/2009 11:32:30 AM
The tone creates an interesting mood, and the lighting is very dramatic, with good perspective. Just a little too oof for me.
03/14/2009 10:21:34 AM
excellent mood in this image
03/14/2009 07:10:52 AM
I like how the sky is warm and not black.
03/13/2009 11:50:19 PM
Good job. Not a normal subject for a night shot IMO. 6
03/13/2009 09:57:17 AM
the green trees on the left keep distracting me.. love the rest of it.
03/13/2009 08:39:01 AM
Nice colors
03/12/2009 11:47:17 PM
a tad to dark for me; the white balance seems to be incorrect, too
03/12/2009 11:31:33 PM
Nice tall lines from this lower angle.
03/12/2009 11:12:50 PM
love the lighting and how it looks against the sky
03/12/2009 05:47:06 PM
Nice and noise-free for something that was clearly a long exposure after dark.
03/12/2009 04:32:27 PM
Beautiful shot. Probably hard to do but would like to see it pulled back just a hair so as not to lose the top of the one tower.
03/12/2009 03:14:51 PM
Love the lights in this, Also like that you haven't got a black sky
03/12/2009 01:44:14 PM
Th light is nice but the composition is very cramped
03/12/2009 12:29:10 PM
Good night shot.
