This clearly meets the challenge description ... but falls short in terms of clearly showing the interior on any level. It's a shame -- a wonderful subject that no doubt holds tremendous potential and yet it's sufficiently lacking in focus to leave me wondering where exactly the plane of focus was? I don't mean this to sound harsh -- I really tried to find an area of focus and that kept me from appreciating the details I wish I were seeing . . .
This could be improved by straigtening and using greater depth of field (smaller aperture). The loss of focus on the lower through the archway section is a pity.
