As I was Downtown Minneapolis Thursday night I stopped
at a park to get some skyline shots and saw this church steeple aiming skyward, lit up and couldn't resist this shot. What do you think of it? Did I do a decent job or
not? I did notice it is a bit off center. But this is without any editing work done to it at all. All criticism
is welcome be it good or bad. Thanks all.

I think it's a beautiful picture. At first I would've liked the cross to have more lighting but it lends the picture a mysterious slant--is religion hidden in the dark corners of our lives or are we deliberately taking away its light? Or, looking at the base of the steeple, is the light making its way up, eventually bringing the light of religion into the darkess?
It's a fabulous picture. The fact that it's a little off center appeals to me, as life is so often off center.

Well lighting the cricifix is out of my line of taking the photo. That's what I love about shots like this it makes one really think about all the things in the photo and what it represents. Thanks friend.

Oooh that is pretty, I like it.
I wouldn't worry about it not being centered. According to all the photography stuff I've read you shouldn't have your main object centered anyway (if you want a dramatic picture).

...all criticism is welcome? Well, I have to get right over there (I'm in email notifications.. no image of course) and see just what I can find wrong with it.. I'm just not happy unless I've passed out a little sourness and criticism everyday.. thanks!

I commented on the picture earlier today. I have four days off from work and I hope to go and do some picture taking and hope to capture some steeples as well. That is something that has been drawing my attention lately.
