Propped camera on a bench back – necessary for the slow shutter speed, also giving the low perspective

It's a bit cluttered to me. The pews in the foreground, the lights on the ceiling, the wall elements, the alter and back wall decoration, it's all competing for attention. Adjusting your position, the light, focus, etc, might have yielded a more 'focused' image.
good: perfect idea for challenge. i like the low angled shot which gives a little more "awe" to the feeling. also i like that it was taken from a worshipers point of view. it makes the silence more personal.
bad: the colors seem muted (not necessarily bad though) and the lighting is quite flat. i don't know exactly, something else seems off somehow.
The image conveys a feeling of silence but I feel that it would have been more effective if there were less light. It's too brightly lit for my liking. The feeling of silence would have been stronger if the interior had been darker. Possibly it would have had more depth and been more dramatic also if you had moved back a bit further. 5
