Hallo André!
You show us a wonderful artwork of this church, which remains hidden. The point of view, the build up and the colours of your picture are really great. I like it very much! "Pars pro toto!"
Greetings from Germany!

Hi Andre
a smaller crop or blowup could put even more attenttion to the statue maybe now a bit lost in a corner while the marvellous sky is taking all the attention.
Quality is perfect here.

Hi Andre,
I beleive that place is nice but your picture made it so spectacular!
I like the composition with the scuplture and the big blue sky. For me this picture is speaking about the faith.
Well done!
Congrats,
Miklós

THe sculpture is lit with a divine light, Andre, and this is the strongest point in this picture. The composition is excellent, I love the huge area of sky which makes it even more divine. Very good one.

This particular depiction of the Virgin Mary shows her at a very human depth. Your photo and notes are very helpful. When I visited the cathedral I took a more frontal angle of the same sculpture, and I appreciate your perspective and composition.
