Very nice. Great eye in spotting this one.
Try perhaps a tighter crop with just the window frame, looks like there might be something in that.

I was going to suggest a wider view to encompase a bit more of the interior wall. The extremely thick wall is a great feature, and I find myself trying to see more of it. (How high is the window from the floor, can you walk up to the window, can you lean out?...) The view is great (well considering there are graves there...).

Altogether, a pleasing shot with the blue sky reflected off the white building, and the warm tones of the interior.

Thumbs Up To:
*I like it a lot! The window does just what it should frame it pefect
*exposed well, outside is exposed well and the window is exposed well

Thumbs Down To:
*Could be a tad wider field of view. just to get the left and right side of the windows completely.
*A TINY BIT of the star is cut off on the top of the building, if the whole star was there that would be good.

This photo would be beautiful with a white mat framed over a fireplace.

Thx boys for comments.
I completely agree with barnold999 regarding the star and too narow view. Alas, I have taken only one picture. I have noticed both flaws later, but I couldn't have improved it in this way - you see the whole picture, no cropping has been made.

Arccos-

Dont get me wrong, the photo is great, but you asked for critique :-)... Oftent hat happens to me, I notice something strange that I wish I could fix, but... you know it could be too late, either a one time event or somwhere you cant return to... oh well... I still like it :-)

Wow!

That really did ring my bells. As I watched the thing download, I though at first it was a stained glass window and with that in my mind the final image had a sureal quality.

I think it's lovely. I can't make my mind up about the crop though, whether it might benefit from cropping tighter to the window.

Anyway, nice...

well, pic is fine.

- wether it is a PS montage ( with "from the top" perspective for the wall and roof at the left and "from the back" for right part ) to make a 'illusion' like the infinite stairs of escher,
- wether it is true and it is fantastic.

could you say us ?

You think tighter shot? I thought maybe a little wider shot would be better. None the less, great shot.
