    the sweep of the architecture is fantastic Paul, I think the choice of B/W is a wise one to accentuate the design aspect

    Fanbloodytastic PLV, you’re eye certainly hasn’t let you down here.

    It’s the angle that really makes it for me, almost as though it’s been done to capture the cloud where it is as the cloud pull horizontally against the perfect verticals of the architecture. The processing is superb (as ever) and the light on the Vatican is strong and bright showcasing all the details in the stone.
