Impressive columns....

[Art]

Hi all, this impressive columns are inside the Cologne's cathedral in Colonge, Germany

Construction of Cologne Cathedral began in 1248 and took, with interruptions, until 1880 to complete. It is 144.5 metres long, 86.5 m wide and its towers are approximately 157 m tall. The cathedral is one of the world's largest churches and the largest Gothic church in Northern Europe. For four years, 1880-84, it was the tallest structure in the world, until the completion of the Washington Monument.

That's why, it was impossible to take a pic of the facade because it is too tall, a wider lens has to be used.

Can you please critic composition?

BTW it was a hand held shot

Thanks Art

Are you trying to fit two subjects into your shot again? I find that my eye wants to go in two directions - down the hallway and to the stained glass. I think you could recompose the shot either way and have a good shot, but when both are in the shot, my eye doesn't know where to go...

good catch I did not realized that it would be so distracting, I will crop it differently
Thanks Art

Yes, that looks totally different now. There is a better flow now. I like the pattern at the top, but the inside looks underexposed. It looks like you had some tricky lighting conditions there. I wonder if a white balance adjustment would help. If you shot RAW, you should be able to adjust that easily.
