Stopped by the mission at sunset the other night while we had some atmospheric cooperation.

This needs to be bigger, not doing it justice.

Now, that second one does do the Mission 'justice'!

Jim K...who hopes to one day photograph that beauty--I've been in/thru Tuscon twice in the last several years and didn't get down there to shoot it!

P.S...I think you could brighten it just a bit; I realize it's sunset but the scene is darker than it should be

+1 on making it slightly brighter

Also, if possible, it would be even better if you can take out those mail boxes.

The evening glow in the first one seems more pronounced. I just read about this mission in AZ Highways magazine - their 100th anniversary photo edition. I'd love to spend a long time in AZ - used to go to Mesa for work once a year and miss it...

Thanks for the suggestions.
It is a little dark, but I didn't want to "ruin" the golden sunset light. The light was changing by the second that afternoon, several seconds after this shot it was all gone. I was happy to catch it and the shadows when I did
I agree the mailboxes need to go, I just have to figure out how to do it in PS. A little straightening too...maybe!

Its a really neat place and still an active Catholic Church. I recommend stopping by if you can!
Shot with the old, antiquated, 6mp Nikon D100.
Thanks for all the comments!
