The lighting and the composition are perfection. But, personally, I would love to have seen a single person deep in prayer to give it a human perspective

Thanks, Garghe! It's a combination of 3 different exposures and some additional work with lights and darks.

@Stan: Unfortunately there was no one except e and I don't want to see myself sitting in a church and praying. I think for a picture about the architecture of this church it's almost perfect. For a picture with a story about human beeings and god and trust etc. it's unusable.

Impressive lighting gives this shot a very different perspective. Normally I associate the inside of churches with being dimly lit and long shadows. So it's quite refreshing seeing this take on it. Nice work.

Simply stunning. Once again my friend you have mastered HDR in conjunction with gorgeous lighting. THe composition works wonderfully with the open and brilliant lighting as well as excentuating the magnificant architectural details.

Stunning shot. I love the bright colors and the amount of light in this photo. The stained glass the back also add a wonderful glow to the entire picture. Well done.

The first thing that came to mind when I saw this one was......Wow!. I think I said it out loud.... Well done. I completely agree with rj above.

Good use of symmetry, and I'm especially impressed that you have managed to retain some detail in the stained glass windows at the back.
