This is soooo beautiful. The dome fretwork and relief figures are so detailed. We cannot afford artisans that do this kind of work today. The stained glass at the top is a lovely finish of the hand work as the eye travels upward.

The interior of this dome just looks fantastic, and I especially like your perspective, and the very tight cropping.

Your photo is just pin sharp and it is indeed clear and well defined details to be seen in every part of the dome. The exposure is just spot on.

The format and framing works so well, and is probably even more effective that showing the whole circle. I think this is a beautiful and well taken photo, and with an excellent DOF.

This is an impressive capture. To bad we can't see the entire inside of the dome.

Colors are strong and bold.

The image is well focused, clear and well exposed.

Good initial visual impact.

Great camera settings - deep DOF.

Altogether a very good shot ... B-)) Bob

What a grand spectacle! You have captured the essentials of the subject superbly!. The clarity of the image is good.* Skillful composition: well-defined center of interest perfectly framed to accentuate the theme of your piece. Thanks for sharing!

Amazingly crisp focus Nik.....wow but the detail throughout your piece is beautiful. Excellent work there.

The colors are well presented...again, throughout your piece. You're right about what a gorgeous dome this is....and you have shown it really well. My one issue, however, is that it's a bit jarring where you've cut it off....especially at top frame. I imagine you were trying to show more detail doing it that way....but would have liked to see it not dissected at the top.

    Your very kiind review is much appreciated! I had to shoot fairly quickly as I was on an escorted tour of the building so I did not have hardly any time to consider the lens/composition problem!!

    Well you did an amazing job getting such crisp focus Nik....not to worry about composition!

I thought I recognized those images of Abe Lincoln around the edges of this dome!!! You were within 8 miles of my home! I have this same dome in my portfolio..... !!! Great job with your camera. Was this handheld? I would love to know more about your visit to my home city!!

Comment from Robert Davis


Well focused. Great depth of field and detail. Difficult shot but would have liked to see the whole dome.The center of interest is truly the center, I think that if one cannot fit the whole dome in you might want to try a different composition. So perhaps you could place the center of the dome according to the rule of thirds. The colors are bright.
