Kitzi, "detail2" is really terriffic and "inside" is wonderful...the window looking like a cross with a surreal background! Great post!

What a beautiful old church, I love the welcome and the details of the tombs. And I like how you made the shot look like a cross. Good job :o)

Welcome is wonderful, the treatment you gave detail 2 is fabulous and the waves from the old glass give a terrific feel to the last shot!

IMHO the first shot is over sharpened. Detail 1 is a little spooky looking to me. Tombs is my pick. I like the way the framing kind of duplicates the tombs.

Tombs is fantastic and Penny stole my thunder. I love the composition on welcome but the grain is so high and is over-sharpened enough to ruin the shot.

I love Christ Church and have photographed there many times, and I was delighted to see how differently you captured it than I have. I LOVE the final shot through the window and the details from the tombs. You were going for an effect on "welcome" weren't you? I agree that I would have liked it better without.

Love the tombs and both the details images. I like the composition on welcome, but too much grain/noise in the effect you used.
