Shot inside the Cathedral of Learning at the University of Pittsburgh. I softened the reflection of the lights on the floor a bit, and took out some annoying green shading that was on the wall on the left. I also upped the highlights a bit to brighten up the overall image. This area is really a pretty dark, spooky, Gothic sort of place. It looks like somewhere Batman would hang out.

Alan: congratulations on your 5th placing. This image is very special because its spacial content gives me the feeling that i am a bird soaring and looking down. All I can say, as jaw slowly drops, is unbelievable!
I didn't get to comment on your picture during the challenge, but I just wanted to give you praise for another wonderful exhibit of your photographic talent. Great Job.
This is one of my favorites in this challenge. Quite an expansive interior shot with great exposure and perfect detail. Like the angle you chose and your POV as it appears you were up a bit. I also like the inclusion of the student which is very effective in showing scale. Excellent work and good luck!
This photo gives a great sense of scale and depth. Excellent work. Some blown out highlights but the immense nature of the photo overpowers that. One of my favorites. :o)
very nice image. I hope you explain your exposure in your comments. I would expect the lights to be more blown out. beautiful good luck in the challenge
What would you study here; celestial mechanics? It is impressive architecture, that's for sure, and your photograph is a good one. But the tables & chairs do seem to trivialise this massive hall a bit. 6.
