    A Child's View

    I tried to shoot this one low to get the look on how a child would see it for the first time.
    I welcome all comments.

    It's very......symmetrical

    It does seem a little flat though. Perhaps adjust your whit point? The DOF is nice and the aisle (spelling?) leads you nicely into the photo.

    I like the low angle, although I think the church would be much more interesting shot from this angle while filled with people.

    Please explain what you mean by flat?

    Low contrast. Use "Curves adjust" or the standard "brightness/contrast/saturation sliders" which most computer image-editing programs feature. (Hope you don't mind me jumping in, danic).

    Very nice work, by the way. Like the symmetry. And I agree with what Ron said, if the church had at least 1 person (preferably according to mood conveyed) then it would have given a clear subject and made a much stronger image.

    I like it... I wish it wasn't so perfect, though. The other suggestions were good. Definitely try again Sunday, try to make this great shot even better!

    Yes, try again sunday, with people in the pews and a little boy or girl walking down the isle into the church. That would really say something.

    I'd get even lower. To exaggerate the effect, I think you should be closer to the back rows there, and possibly use a wide angle lens.

    I like the shot btw, and the black and white works IMO. It's a bit soft though.
