Norwich Cathedral

Taken on a very old 5x4 camera. This photo took a fair amount of PS to get the contrast to where it is. I like it though. What do you think?

All comments welcome!

Nice light, good sense of space. Love these Gothic interiors.

Great depth to this composition. I like the lighting and don't mind the dark recesses - adds mystery and mood to the image.

Watch your lines on the left side. A shot like this is hard to pull off perfectly... but great attempt.

Yes it was the sense of mystery I was after here.

Get rid of the windows on both side.. Especially the one slightly visible on the right. See attached, hope it's ok>>

Drew - yes that works too. But on balance I like the windows! Cropping makes the composition too static for my taste. (Which is also why I did not straighten it all up).

Maybe the right window> That little white line top corner...> Thanks for sharing..

Drew, Kim's comment about mood and mystery hits the nail on the head. This photo is not just about architecture or aesthetics but about faith. Blinding certainties, deep darkness and uneasy and inexplicable things happening at the edges. So I'm sorry to offend your sensibilities but for me the windows have to stay. regards Colin

 

the cropped version looks a bit to common. i go for the more mistic full size, your old camera offered you, respect the nice 4x5 size. mike

Colin, I like your photo as is, the windows give the photo balance.

Thanks for your visit and scoring, and comment, I have answered you there.... happy new year. Pnina Evental

Thanks Mike and Pnina! And a happy new year to you too!

Very good and authentic mood to a well captured image. My congratulations!

Marvellous - superb! Great Work! Paul
