 This is the Church of Assumption in Penang, Malaysia. Not long after Francis Light arrived on Penang Island in 1786, he sent for a community of Eurasians from a parish in Kuala Kedah to be settled in Penang. The community was made up of descendants of European settlers who had intermarried with the Burmese and Siamese. Due to political prosecution, they had moved away from Phuket and resettled in Kedah.

The Church of Assumption was so named because the first group of Roman Catholics landed in Penang on the eve of the Feast of Assumption. In 1955, the church status was raised to the status of a Cathedral of the diocese of Penang.

Watch your verticals.

While the vibrant colours certainly catch the eye, the composition does not really work for me, and I find it to be a bit of a shoehorn for the challenge topic.

The cropping and framing seems a bit awkward to me. Nice portrayal of individual frustration, however.

Colors are nice, but i think the tilt throwing me off, perhaps it would have been better to allign the vertical wall with the picture frame.

This seems to say religion quit him first with all the bars and barriers. He definitely has the mien of someone down on his luck and the colors are striking.

I think the colors are enhanced a little too much. Plus I think a tighter crop could have been used.
