    It’s angelic and such a strong image. The colour you have chosen instead of straight black and white really works, great job.

    a good image visually…good sky but I especially like how there is a ring (or what seems to be a ring) around the church

    Excellent catch, Jon. Tough shooting this when there’s lots of tourists around, you’ve done well to get rid of them all!

    It was easy getting rid of the tourists-it was blowing a gale and half of them couldn’t stand up straight and were either hiding in the church or scurrying for their campervans…..

    I know that feeling with tourists. You’ve got to stand on your tip toes to see over there heads and then hold the camera up as high as possible to make it seem like they’re not there. Or yell fire…one or the other. Great shot.
