I though I would post a few architectural photographs, this one is from Lichfield Cathedral Staffordshire
Any tips or constructive criticism are welcome :)

@Dimitrios: Thank you Dimitrios. :) I hope that you are safe from the awful fires that are sweeping your beautiful country at the moment! praying that it is soon over.
thanks very much for sharing, mary,what you've said saddens me a lot,'children having children indeed',and yes,soon we will be producing a generation that is amoral and increasingly depraved.When i was teaching i did counseling as well and i also face kids who got pregnant with people they know online,and after having the baby,they dont know whether the baby should grow up knowing them as 'mom' or lie to them as 'sister'.Scarred for life. There are also girls who willingly have sex with multiple partners because they wanted to feel loved and wanted.There are also those who inflict pain on themselves,cutting themselves with scissors,knives and what not.This is really a sad generation we are living in Mary. And i think it will only get worse.

@Soodabeh: Thank you my dear Soodabeh, the sculptures in this Cathedral are a beautiful sight to see :)
Oh God, MaryB, this is so, so WOW there's power in the light and shadow, there's beauty in the angel, Michael, perhaps? It is all SUBLIME

@Lorraine: Oh my goodness thank you very much Lorraine! I'm really pleased you like it, thank you again :) I'm not sure who the statue is of but I will check on my next visit :)
Oh I do like this one Mary! Such nobility on this face. The details are incredible; even to the veins on the hand. As I consider who sculpted this statue, and of she who photographed it so strikingly, I am reminded of what it says in Philippians 4:8. If only the truth and value of those beautiful words would sink into our hearts...

@Viewfinder: Bless you VF, thank you. :)
Perfect the way you brought out the statue, in the background we can barely see the opposite wall of the church. This way we know where the statue is situated, but without being distracted by any other element. Very nice!

Mary- I like the detail in the statue!! The look on the face reminds me of knowledge and truth! The darkness of the wood and surroundings behind the statue really make it stand out that much more! Great framing :-)

EXCELLENT against that background!! The detail is so great in the statue.

Nice architecture capture... you should try to find more statues and try a series with different angles, lighting, techniques etc.
