Taken hand-held (should have brought my tripod...). This is the interior of one of the buildings on the grounds at Fort Niagara. It was quite dark, so I upped the ISO to 1600 and braced myself on some steps several feet away from these archways.
Some desat, gaussian blur, and a little usm applied. I hope you like the effect (...but I don't count on it :-).
Thanks for looking, commenting and/or voting.

Wonderful use of B/W and dodge/burning. Plenty of contrast and compostional elements such as 'line' and 'vanishiing point' to keep the viewer interested.
What an unexpected title. In a picture that resembles an older monastery or convent. Are you making reference to Chattages of catholic infamy?
Chattages were the common name for when the upper level priests of a seminary would take young boys, priests in training, into their room for a "chat" of an indecent nature.
