Richard, if you are presenting the photo of the church, the second image does that quite nicely. If you are more interested in the surrounding area along with the church, then the first would be it. I'm not sure the sculpture is part of the church, or just in the proximity of the church. If it isn't part of the church proper, I'd go with the second for sure.

You have grasped my problem, Bob! I wish I could have the whole facade and the statue, too. The sculpture is on a bridge which spans the river in front of the church. I don't know if the bridge, statue and church were constructed at the same time or in different periods. A history student in Fursty is trying to check it out for me.

The first one is better, it has depth and realism; the second one seems to be static and two-dimensional.


Thank you for your observations, Big Rob. The second image is closer to an architectural rendition, as compared to the first image. I imagine the church's architect would prefer the second image for that very reason.

I snapped these photos 70 years ago, but I've never managed to make up my mind which angle is the better of the two. So I thought I'd submit them to the Hog herd and get your opinions.

Richard,

Thanks for your permission to work on your image #1. I tried to bring out the architectural emphasis on Image #1 the best I could with the image I could download. With that being said, perhaps I was able to better show the structure as well as the beauty of the buildings and the statue in the image? I enjoyed working on it, and just maybe, met both of two worlds, so to speak. Thanks again, Richard.

Best Regards,
Tom
