I remember the Swiss Guard in their fancy uniforms at St. Peters. This is excellent, Ed. I love the stones with the lines leading to the archway. The HDR has really brought out textures and beautiful lighting. Very nice.
I think this pic is well-served when you didn't position yourself directly in the center of the doorway. Now the slightly slanting sidewalk lines add drama to the scene.
This is really a Eye "Popeing" shot Ed. No disrespect meant. Great colors and I like the FDR very much. I really like the priests in the lower windows. One right and one left. They look like the same pose only flipped. Excellent. Talk about your sense of order. What does it say over the door?
Great post.
