Taken June 5 just after dropping my daughter off at a dance rehearsal. Camera was set to default speed (approx. ISO 80), and b&w. I cropped a bit to center the dome and the steeple. Adjusted brightness/contrast, hue/saturation levels, dodged and burned.

I've come back and looked at this shot nearly 20 times now. Truly beautiful. I thought this would wind up in the top ten. I can't believe you think my entry should have scored higher than this.
Gee! Thanks so much! What a nice comment! Each challenge is making me care less and less about where I place. I mean, I get aggravated when I see the kind of shots that score higher than my personal picks or my own shots but the past few challenges I've made sure to enter something I really like and I've gotten some nice comments and I know I'm improving. I think that I will probably never have the kind of style that wins ribbons on this site (but who knows?). I'm managing to stick with it and for me, as a person with ADHD, that is a huge win in itself. Good luck, keep shooting, and thanks again!

OK, awesome! This is so cool. I feel scared just looking at this. Like someone's gonna beat me up OR hand me a frapacinno. The clouds are so great, they're scary but very calming. Great job 10
