If the challenge had been a month earlier, the sun would have wandered those 10 degrees further west and shed light on the entire facade. Oh well.
Is it me or is the tower leaning to a side?

I was here about 20 years ago on a bus tour to London from Germany. I wasn't able to see the cathedral from this vantage point. Simply breathtaking! Fabulous shot! 10
Lovely light on the old stone work. Sharpness seems a bit off and the contrast not quite right - I can't quite put my finger on it. There is a slight yellow band on the horizon which detracts a little, but over-all I do like this, and it is certainly a classic postcard style shot.
Beautiful building, foliage, and light, but I'm having a hard time getting all the details -- the blend together. I wonder if this picture would benefit from a judicious amount of tone mapping -- just enough to bring out the details in the spires.
