A very powerful BW, with excellent symmetry and BW tonal range. The shadows in the middle from bottom archway to the top are too intense, since details in the artwork along the central axis subdued.

Wow! Stunning image, very dramatic, really quality work. I don't know exactly what it's difference between original photo and the one we see here, I can only guess that sky is touched and that is turned in some kind of black and white. Symmetry is perfect.
Now u gave me an idea cos I have one similar shot, but in full color, I'll send it here as soon as I can. :-)

I am so gratefull for the staff and editor choice selections. I would have never seen this spectacular image of yours. I didn't see the color version but I do think this is probably better. You took great advantage of the church's dramatic lighting and have created an image that transcends its origins. Well Done! JB

Spectacular. Your "playing around" really amounted to a great deal in my book. The perspective is wonderful...the building stretches upward like a giant, and the light glowing or illuminating from the various planes coupled with the rich toning gives this a wondrous magesty -- out of a dream. Bravo! Antonia

Many thanks for your comments Marco.
The original shot is in my portfolio called "Buen Pastor". Taken at around 9.30 in the evening in August last year. No tripod was used I just held my breath and shot very close to the building.
The original only needed a little contrast on levels adjustment the rest is natural.
Hope this answers your questions.. and thanks my friend.

At first, Manu i can say that i like this your wide angle architecture capture; It gives to the spectator a feeling of impotence and fear in front of god will and every his rapresentation.
At second i love the sharpeness and tones of capture and so...A question:-) Have you shooted in the night? used a tripod and with which focal lenght ?
Compliments & REgards, Manu.
