shot this by the NU campus, one of the many churches in that block.
the sky was blue and with white clouds but it look better in B&W on my cam. so thats the way i took it, and (live w/ no regrets) i had no idea it would be the shot i submitted for this challenge.
Just did curves, and brightness&contrast

Now that is a stately looking edifice. I look at this image and hear a swelling score punctuated by booming drums. This cathedral would be central to the plot. But this image doesn't cry "hope" for me. Black and white somehow causes that. The lack of color makes that building more aggressive looking. (7)
Great shot with wonderful contrast. Compositionally this is great and the clouds play a great backdrop on the subject as they are very moody (and thankfully not blown out!) My highest score so far in this challenge. 8.
