Religious Buildings

August 2023

I really like the simplicity of this image and the way that the photographer has captured the light and shadow on the church.  This set against the lightly misty sea gives the impression of soft focus which make this photo very appealing.  A lovely image.

There is a lot to admire in this photograph.  The composition and symmetry work well and draw the eye of the viewer.  The light although fading has been captured to create a softness.  I really like the used of the horizontal and vertical lines, a worthy winner.

**This contest is open to photographers ranked 1000+ in this week’s <a href="https://www.photocrowd.com/photographer-community/">Leaderboard</a>.** Each religion has developed its own architectural and decorative traditions, which are best exemplified in the places of worship and commemoration that have been constructed in its name. From cavernous cathedrals and mosques created at vast expense, to humble places of prayer that reflected the austere lives of the worshippers. Images of both interiors and exteriors are welcomed in this contest.
