Long time to talk! I hope you are doing well. Thanks for the feedback. For grins, I just looked up interior pictures of the chapel and the "buttresses" are lined up with the loads of the roof trusses. It may have just been a way to spread the roof load over a larger area of the foundation. Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany has an amazing foundation that flares to support the massive loads of the castle. Fun stuff! Hello Liz! Long time to talk! I hope you are doing well.

I love the dappled light. It's interesting to see the buttressing on a non-gothic building. Or maybe that's just the flying variety? It’s great, Lee. I love the dappled light.

One of the things I really looked for were the subtle transitions. I noticed the shadows on the face of the chapel were darker in the upper right and lighter in the lower left. Jay Moore said to look for transitions as they always exist in nature and creats a more interesting painting! Thanks Pam. One of the things I really looked for were the subtle transitions.

I think the flare at the bottom is a sort of buttressing that is common in church architecture. It may be all looks here but is usually to allow wide roof spans in cathedrals. Notre Dame, among others, is a great example of beautifully functional buttressing. I did shoot this at about 28mm though, which did cause the top to narrow a little. I, like you, decided to widen the top a bit to correct for it. Have a good week! Thank you Dana. I think the flare at the bottom is a sort of buttressing that is common in church architecture.

What I thought was camera distortion in the shape of the building is actually the shape of the church. Great handling of all the areas around the door too. Beautiful Lee, I love your version.
