 Considered entering this in the Wide Angle challenge, but it doesn't seem quite wide enough. A polarizing filter really brought out the colors, which were beautiful to begin with.

If I knew how to use the transform tool in Photoshop, I'd straighten the poor old building up a bit :-)

I like it ... and you KNOW how I like pictures of churches! I thought it was a touch oversaturated at first glance, then I realised that's what the colours really were (except for a bit of intensifying via the polarizing filter). Moving closer might accentuate the 'lean' of the building even more, but I'd have done it anyway & so got rid of the fence. I feel the horizontal line of the fence is a little graceless, and is fighting with the beautiful verticals of the church. Also, it looks like there are some gravestones hidden behind that fence, and they'd add a lot more atmosphere to the image than the fence does. Adjusting verticals in PS is not too hard, as long as you remember to just reduce the 'lean', and not eradicate it altogether (which looks unnatural & makes the building appear squat). For truly expert advice on correcting perspective in architectural subjects, send a PM to bear_music. Cheers! P.

I like this and thought wide angle immediately. I don't have issue with it not being "wide enough." I've never straightened out a thing using Adobe. I always use a simple version of Roxio Photo Suite 5 and it has a very user friendly way to do that But the "tilt" doesn't bother me because of the angle in which you did the shot. I love the rich reds and blues. It almost has a surreal quality to it. Nice!! ;~D
