    Re: The St.Boniface Cathedral

    What I like: The way the trees frame the cathedral, the contrast between very old and modern and teh way that you did not blow out the skiy in the shot.

    What I don't like: The flags in the foreground, although adding to the modern/old contrast, distract my eye form the cathedral, the picnic table looks out of sorts, and there's a slight tilt to the left.

    Don,

    I've spent some time looking at this and the foreground is far to busy. I like the way the cathedral is framed by the trees but the brickwork and everything else just draws the attention away from the cathedral.

    I don't know if you could keep the trees and loose the foreground by moving to the right and using the other two trees on the right of the picture?

    Perhaps a polariser would have brought out that sky a lot better.

    Thanks reading. It was shot from across the river with the long lens. I do have a polarizer.
