Paul, one interesting thing about this photo and the photo of the First Methodist in "Exhibition" is that the churches are located directly across the street from each other and face each other. The Methodist Church photo was taken in the morning and the Baptist Church photo was taken in the afternoon (on different days). And, the tree limbs appear in both photos! - Ken

I knew about the distortion with the 10-22 because I've seen it in other people's postings. I also am made aware of it when I use the 17-40 at 17mm on the 6D it's almost unusable, almost. My real intention bringing that up was to draw you out to see if you had that lens in your extensive gear list and you bit hook line and sinker. ;-} Love all your work! Paul

Thanks, guys, for your comments! True. I do have the 10-22mm lens, but (1) I didn't have it with me at the time and (2) it would distort too much in this case. Super wide lenses are great for some circumstances, but not necessarily for architectural photography! I'd rather have the branches in this case. - Ken

If you had the 10-22 lenses on the camera (don’t try and convince me you don’t have that lens or equivalent cuz I’m not buying it since you seem to have more cameras and lenses than BH Phoho) ;-). Anyway that would have put a whole perspective on the church. I’d leave the branches too since I like the way they frame it in. Paul

Nice. Don't remove the branches - They act as a good partial frame to the main subject. If you do anything, eliminate a "couple of inches" off the branches that touch the steeple. Jim

Thanks, Traveller. I agree about the branches ... They bothered me a little bit, but if I stepped forward enough to eliminate them, I would have to crop off part of the steeple because I was already as wide as the lens would go. I thought about removing them in Photoshop, but decided against that. The more I looked at them, the more acceptable they became to me. In fact, to me they tend to give it a somewhat Alfred Hitchcock-ish look. - Ken

I like the way you chose your time of day and also the framing with the branches...(I would tend to step forward to exclude them...but I am wrong in this) Traveller
