The most ancient of Birmingham’s churches, St. Martin has been the focal point of the markets area since the 12th century. Inside is the oldest monument in the city, a 1325 effigy of the Lord of the Manor Sir William de Bermingham. The present building, with a stained glass window by Burne-Jones, dates from 1875. Home to the world’s first change ringing peal of 16 bells. Grade II listed building. St. Martin has undergone a major refurbishment over the past five years. (Source: www.birminghamheritage.org.uk).

This is absolutely amazing! This shot is pure genius! And I love the perspective distortion where the church’s verticals are leaning in. It makes it an even more powerful composition to me. The cloud effect and tone mapping are quite stunning.
im very grateful with your comment Sean…quite flattering ..to be honest, this image got me all excited this afternoon.. ive been staring at it for a while now.. it seems like heaven is trying to connect with the church ..like GOD is trying to say something, hence i gave it an apt title which hopefully will be ‘WITNESSed’ by many :)
