First Lutheran

This is a pretty special church to me. It is not my home church right now but this is where my wife and I got married 9 years ago. It is where my niece and nephew were baptized along with many other special events in my life.
First Lutheran has tons of character, this picture really does not do it justice at all.

  2. I think it's really great to take photos of emotionally meaningful subjects,like this one for you. On POTD, I find that to be a challenge, finding the balance between something that's interesting to photograph. . . but not necessarily emotionally meaningful.

  6. I like your vignette on this one, and the deep blue sky! I think you have good composition, and you did a good job deciding where to cut off the bottom, you eliminated a lot of possible distracting elements! :)

    (i.e. I think it's funny when people photograph these beautiful churches, but on the bottom are tons of streets...parked cars...pedestirans...signs etc!) You were able to capture the true beauty!

    Cheers,
