 Catholic Church in San Francisco. Quick shot from Yerba Buena Gardens while heading to SF Modern Art Museum Sunday. Not all that thrilled with the shot, but entering it to give my team another scoring chance in this week's DPL challenge. My prediction is a 5.4.

Slight rotate, crop, levels, USM.
Mask the church, Hue +60 and Lightness +60 on the background
Resize, USM, Border, S4W

post-challenge:
woo-hoo, beat my prediction! ;>P Had to laugh at all the angst in the forums this week about what consitutes "religion" and what it takes to meet the challenge by showing what you "believe." Since I'm Jewish, this one clearly doesn't meet the challenge at all ... sorry if that offends you, just pandering to the voters here (tho not very well). Some like it though, so that's enough for me. Thanks for the nice comments

well centred shot and post-processing of background adds to the shot.
