R.G.'s recent picture of Applecross reminded me of my visit there in 2011. This is the interior of the Kirk.
Oh wow! Did they know how photogenic it would be to place those chairs at an angle, or did you smile and ask nicely?
The textures and light of the elements here are so engaging. Love the image.

Just straight lines would have suited me but herringbone fashion was the icing on the cake

Beautiful and very nicely photographed. Black and White seems a natural for this composition. Very nicely done.

Superb. I could spend a long time looking at that, but not if it were colour. For me, the simplicity of the shot, the lighting, the accurate camera placement or cropping, and most importantly your handling of monochrome make it a pleasure to view.
Wow—that is one nice photo!
Yes, everything that John N says. And I just know that had I taken this shot I’d have over-processed it - you’ve got it spot-on Graham.
Ditto to everyone's comment.
And, to add my own, a leading line that actually leads to something!!!
So glad you're back, Graham!
Spectacular shot, composition and exposure spot on, PP tastefully done (as has been pointed out above). What camera were you using for this?

Thanks Dave, it was a Nikon D700 with the much, and wrongly maligned, 24 - 120 f/3.5
This is beautiful, Graham. I was struck first by the wonderful toning. The contrast is perfect. The DOF is perfect. Would you mind sharing your settings and what (if any) PP work was done?

Thank you Graham, I would have guessed all day and not hit on the D700 (and I have one.) Many images that get posted on this and other sites have a bunch of digital artifacts that become visible if one downloads the image and hits the +, I don't see any of that in your image here. Once again, very good work.
I am transported into that space. I really enjoy it!

I don't mind sharing my settings but I'm never quite sure of what use they are to another person in a different situation
Nikon D700 Nikkor 24 - 120 f/3.5 @ 24 mm
f/8.0 1/200 sec. IS0 1600 Aperture priority.
In LightRoom I adjusted exposure, contrast and saturation. I also corrected some distortion.
In PhotoShop I used Nik Software (can't get used to it being DXo) "Paper Toner" plugin, this, if the colour version is right, gives a nicely tinted monochrome... used sparingly!
The rest of the work consisted of "burning in" the top and the two vertical edges of the frame to help guide the eye to the altar table. I then dodged the floor to accentuate the light from the window... simple... it has to be for me
Excellent image Graham. B&W was the right choice for this one.
