Easter Church

[wpgreer]

Went out tonight intending to shoot this really cool church spire that's lit up at night (finally bought a DSLR this week and can't stop playing). I got a few good shots, but as I turned around and started collapsing the tripod legs, I saw this and had to shoot it. Minimal photoshopping (just enhanced the colors a tiny bit on the spire reflection).

I'm usually not all that cool about two focal points (I think the light qualifies on brightness alone) but without moving mycar, I couldn't really change much of it. Any critiques are appreciated!

I like the shot a lot except for one little detail. The door in the background is very distracting because the details are so blown out. The light coming from there is overpowering the rest of the shot. I would suggest taking it back into Photoshop try to reduce the glare just in the doorway. Then, you will have a fantastic image. Very creative!!
