Perspective

This image has been, a bit to my surprise, well received locally so I'm posting here to get reactions from some who don't have any history with the buildings in it. Some may remember an earlier, much less effective version of this image being posted here several months ago while I was working on the assignment.

Some background. The office building is the Devon Building in downtown Oklahoma City. It is the tallest one in town and, at 800+ feet, one of the tallest in the western US. The church is a small Romanesque style Catholic church that is the first one built in OKC over 100 years ago. It is across the street from the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial and was severely damaged in the bombing. It is a small church that is dwarfed by the large office buildings surrounding it. Still, when you see it, you are impressed by the little church that stretches so effectively toward heaven in the manner of the medieval European churches.

The image was made to be seen in conjunction with a church bible study curriculum. I've titled the image "Perspective" for obvious photographic reasons but also for the meaning it implies. Just wondering if it works as well away from home. Comments greatly appreciated. Thanks for looking and reading this long post.

this is a beautiful picture and I think when comming to architecture and perspective you have nothing to complain about. The contrast between church and skyscraper is impressive. The overall quality of the image and compo is very fine.
I am quiet confident your clients where very pleased with the outcome of the assignment. It is an attractive photo. It works as well on the other side of the ocean (away from home)...

very nice shot. The color of the church stands out against the mostly monotone scene, plus the colors are basically complementary of each other so that works to bring the church off the background even more.

only thing that bugs me is the wall, or whatever the drab green diagonal line is at the bottom of the frame. I'd crop it out. Might even go so far as to clone out the electrical conduit on the outside of the church.
