Neal R Thompson MD	Great image to start with!  Wasn’t I just in this cathedral in Italy? The contrasting blue windows are perfect.  Being off center aisle is a much better choice than straight down the center.  Composition and color excellent.
Dennis Hirning	Very nice lighting. I am surprised that you don’t have the highlights blown out while the dark areas still have detail. I might try playing with the perspective a little. Tha alter seems to be tipped a little to the right.
Timothy D. Morton	The church comes alive with the wood looking so RICH and powerful and low light allows us to feel the hand of the higher power, and love the way the lights on the right hand side appear to be pure WHITE.
