    I like how the clouds appear to be radiating from the cathedral. Good angle.
    Keep Shooting!

    Very interesting lighting how it goes from darker to lighter as the building elevates. The building has good sharpness and detail. The composition is a little tight for me, I prefer to see a slightly wider angle. The clouds look good to me also, but in this particular situation I think it would've been a better pic with a less-dominating sky (a solid blue maybe). That would have allowed the viewer to pay more attention to the building.

    PC,

    Excellent photo and I love the shadows going to light to sky and how the clouds eminate form the spire. What camera lense Exif...?

    Re: St. Giles Cathedral, Edinburgh, Scotland

    Thanks for all the nice feedback. For jkriminger, I'm still trying to find some time to do the edits you suggested. Too many things piled up while I was out last week. I haven't even had a chance to print some of these up, but I'm hoping to get some time later this week.

    For readingr, this was shot with a Canon 350, in raw, f/5.6, 1/80s exposure using the kit lens at 18mm and ISO 100. I keep telling myself I need to get the 10-22 for these sorts of shots, but I haven't taken the leap yet.
