I commented earlier this morning but that was about the time Google Chrome decided to go for a walk (CRASH) and it didn't post. None the less excellent Gerald love the wide angle look. Paul

Thank you, Stan and Konstantin. Stan, you are quite right, the upper part was rather distracting. I have uploaded a better version (with improved symmetry). What disturbed me more was to find the church under renovation, with a scaffolding and the loud noise of hammers and machines--but what can we do against it, and the result should be worth the inconvenience.

Very very good picture! The minor thing (real minor) I would suggest is to get it fully symmetrical (see pending)

Beautiful shot, great exposure and like what the wide angle does to the picture. I might had cropped at the little at the top to remove the area above the sculptures or lights on the left & right and above the x ceiling area or at the intersection of the x in the ceiling but then you lose the curvature of the last arches. Tough crop since either way you lose the last arch but I find the excess a little distracting. (my opinion only) ~ StanP
