[QUOTE="Joseph Bautsch, post: 18847, member: 654"] Both shots show a good eye for composition. The cross has very good color contrasted by the broken white plaster and red brick wall. Great texture. I would suggest a little different cropping on the cross shot. (I took the liberty of copying the shot and re-cropping to demonstrate.) That large opening where the plaster is missing above the cross and the large brick platform underneath I find distracting. A little different cropping de-emphasizes these objects and makes the cross a little more dominate as the subject. The B&W shot has a shadow across the front of the subject and lighter areas behind. That's distracting and should be the other way around. The light should be on the face of the building. I also agree with cnyram, the more interesting shots probably lie on the right where the bell tower ?? structure is located.
