This week's PotW is from biggerry. I am not a religous person at all, quite the contrary in fact, but I find churches of all persuasions to be amazing places visually, and great photographic opportunities. Gerry has posted this and another shot (see thread here) to show how difficult it is to capture such scenes effectively, and here's an example of how it hasn't worked out. Well, I might agree that it is difficult, but I reckon Gerry has nailed it with both shots, of which this is my favourite (but only just, they are both great). Top work Gerry.  Greg - - - - D200 etc

Beautiful. Church innards and outers both are often a goldmine of stunning architecture, and this one's a beauty.
Oh how I want a little fishy of my own.

What a gorgeous church - and an absolutely beautifully executed shot - I'm sure that it is hard to convey the grandeur of such a building and finding the correct exposure of such an expansive interior must be a shocker .... and you've done it all :) Congrats on POTW - well deserved :)
