This is a very special and lovely window, and I especially like Your point of view placing the statue in the center of the cross, and also how lovely the light is falling on it.

The photo is also Sharp With Clear and well defined details to be seen all over, and the exposure is Perfect.

The tight cropping is working well, and it looks Nice With the centered window and statue. A truly lovely and well taken photo Allan, and I wish you Luck With the contest.

Thanks for the well critiqued response to this image. With no windows in this church I assume some services can be quite cold in winter, but it is the SW US so that helps.

I have a friend who just moved to Las Cruces last year. Maybe I will have to go visit him next winter. A beautiful scene which is well composed and shown in great colors. Best of luck in the contest.

You got the perfect angle..very cool. The clarity is great. The angle of the shot of centering the statue perfectly with the wrought iron is awesome. The capture of the light is great. The image is balance and eye appealing to the viewer.. great eye and great job overall
