I quite like Notre Dame; I have a similar shot from the other end looking back towards the organ and the rose window on the front of the cathedral.
Unfortunately, your image is a little asymmetrical in it's composition. While that is not necessarily a bad thing, in this case, you're just asymmetrical enough to be noticeable, but not enough to be clearly deliberate. It kind of looks sloppy instead of a concious artistic choice.
Also, your digital post-processing looks a little overdone. I know how wide the dynamic range is for this scene ... it is challenging. You've done well not to blow out the stained glass windows, but I think you've gone overboard on lightening the remainder of the scene, which has introduced a fair amount of noise and artifacts into the image. |
