Hope this belongs here. The moderator is requested to delete this if it is not strictly within the B&W arena.

This is one of the oldest churches in India, situated on a small mountain-top on the outskirts of the city I live in.

All comments and critiques are welcome.

This picture conveys a very special atmosphere, something like an aura of meditation and religiosity.

An original rendition of this particular moment in the day: sky and sun invisible, it's the sun rays that give the sunset away. Your composition (converging diagonals on the long axis), grainy treatment and presentation are particularly beautiful.

Beautiful. I would love to see the inside if you are allowed and proper for taking shots to share.

Love the toning in this one. Gives it that warmth that reaches me in a soothing manner.
The scene itself is most pleasant as well. Take care. Bob.

Well seen and shot. I would have considered cloning out the vertical element on the roof.

Thanks a lot, Tim. I too now think the pole in top should have been cloned out.
