Great shot Chris. The lines really draw your eye into the image. Excellent tonality from the brightest highlights to the darkest shadows.

If I give negative feedback on an image, take it with a grain of salt. My opinion will be honest, but I'm a long way from being a pro.

Thanks for the generous comments, I posted this on Retouch last year but have re-cropped it.
Phyllis I never have people in my photos it makes them (the image) look untidy !!!

I really enjoy this kind of photograph. You only seem to get this kind of effect from old world architecture.
Great stuff Chris, if I was to rate it, I'd also go for a five.

People make pics look untidy? LOL! I see what you mean though...if you are going for a scenic or architectural or a picture of a THING then the presence of the complicated human form competes too much with your pic. Do you ever photograph just people alone? Or do you stick to non-peopled pics?

The camera can determine what form dominates an image, its simply a matter of composition. The buttresses are ambiguous as regards scale to the viewer but not to the imagemaker. Thus the camera has determined the images form. If you placed a figure in the picture it would immediately give it scale but in this case I think it works better without.

I especially like the repetition of the arches giving the feeling of stability. Excellent shot!
