San Xavier del Bac, Tucson, AZ 01

An absolutely gorgeous Spanish mission outside of Tucson. Alas, they had lots of scaffolding around the outside of the building for repairs. So I had to attempt to shoot creatively. It's kind of like people who will only ever get to Washington, DC once in their lives and arrive to find their favorite monument encased in scaffolding. It HAS to be done periodically. But it can certainly ruin a once-in-a-lifetime trip.... (sigh....) Your thoughts?

Any comments or ratings are appreciated! :-)

i think you did a good job of hiding the scaffolding, and the yellow flowers on the trees look really nice against that stunning blue and white.

In this case I prefer B/W!...Ciaomau!

In this case the palo verde and mesquite trees don't help the composition IMHO; its just kinda cluttered and busy. I think your black and white vertical format is clearly the strongest of the three posted to date. Cheers! Chris

I feel what you were going for with the colorful flowers but the other poster is correct in that it is too busy at the bottom of the frame, perhaps just a bit of greenery comming up from the bottom of the frame to contrast against the white.
