@MaryB: A very curvy church that made me want to buy a wide-angle lens for the first time. :)

Laurent from Lyon, France

I like how you played with thoses curves. Nicely composed

@Laurent: Maybe the only way left to get a decent capture: concentrate on the details.

Thought it was a fish eye lens at first. Great shot great details and sky too.

@PD: Thanks, PD, yes: these curves are real. An awesome building, that's for sure. :-)

Such a sense of confidence in curved architecture like this . . and the heavy detail is further emphasis. I like the way you have cropped in tight here.

@Ronnie 2¢: The crop just came out of the camera: I didn't get much enough distance for capturing the whole building, so I had to concentrate on the details.

Tracey from Maryland, United States

GORGEOUS! I love, love love this one. One of my favorites!

@Tracey: Cheers, Tracey! Glad you like it!

JoeB from Brampton, Canada

Appropriate title like arms reaching out.

@JoeB: Its lower storeys are quite classical and rectangular. Very interesting building!

Mags from Paris, France

Nice shot, I like the curving effect.

@Mags: Its roof is just breathtaking. Will try to get something from my old shots.

akarui from Kagoshima, Japan

This view works well and hopefully there are clouds in the blue sky. Their reflections on the window is very nice and makes a good combination with the orange walls.

@akarui: Additionally you might imagine standing in a truly majestic inner courtyard that is completed by this wonderful church.

Twelvebit from Victoria, United States
