    Dunedin Cathedral

    Many, or the majority, of my shots have been manipulated, often with something introduced, however this is an original shot given the best treatment that I have discovered so far. Hopefully I will get back to the source early next year. This is where I am at, so keen to hear critique !

    I like the image but suggest cropping out the greenish ceiling tiles in both the lower left and right, as they don't seem to fit with the rest of the image

    Or just modify his tint to be close to gray/beige tones.

    For me, the lines going in every direction are what make this image such a success. To remove the greenish ceiling areas being discussed would eliminate two important areas of the image. Those two areas seem to be lit by a different light source (perhaps fluorescent light), which results in the greenish look. One solution would be to change the color balance in those areas as Jean mentioned. Another solution is to convert the image to monochrome.

    +1 from me. cropping the image would lose the symmetry with the tiles in the RH corner that I think is an important part of the composition. Either of Mikes suggestions would work in that respect.

    It's a very imagination shot and nicely done.
