well I think this has a lot of potential. I like the scenery and also the B&W selection. I would suggest to straighten the horizon and choose another point of view. The space to the right seems more interesting than to the left. The figures could be nearly in the center keeping the chapel in the background within the composition. Regards, Burak

Thanks for your comments.  It's odd, you think the right side is more interesting than the left, while I absolutely love the left over the right!  It's amazing how people's perceptions can vary.

I agree how the center statuary is keystoned a bit, but that's the price we pay for using a superwide lens on a vertical object.  (9mm in 4/3s is roughly equal to 18mm fl in 35mm film photography).  I might straighten it out yet, but I'm otherwise pretty happy with it as is.

On a side note, I'm very happy with how my conversions to B&W went.  I used Lightroom for the conversion and find it very easy to find the exact shades and tones I'm looking for.  Much easier than PS proper or PS Elements or PSP, I think.
