this is excellent Chris! ...and like everyone above me has said, the detail is exquisite, if you can say that! lol! good depth of colour and spot on focus!

Fantastic shot, Chris! Incredibly clear and crisp and so nice to look at. The sculpture and carving are incredible and your photo does them great justice. Definitely a thousand times better than the one on Wikipedia!
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

Well, Chris, I think that it's pretty plain that it's clear and crisp and you've got a great angle on it as well. It's too bad they didn't know you were around when they made up the pics for the link you sent us to. :)
I've always really wanted to visit Germany..but after seeing a lot of your shots, I really really want to go!!! Thanks a lot!! Great shot, I like how symmetrical it is around the figure...it frames him really well.

I am probably afraid that some spectator will not understand my photography - therefore I proceed to make it really less understandable by writing defensibly about it.

Thank you all for your comments. I apologize that I wasn't able to thank each of you personally for taking the time to view and comment on this post. Time is pressing me at the moment, and though I will still post comment as I'm able, each will be sporadic for the next month or so...thanks again, my friends!
My comments will be hit and miss for the next month or so. I'm preparing to return to the U.S. on 1 Aug and will be on vacation until 20 Aug or so...I will be checking though and I look forward to your great shots! L8R...G8R
