It's a fabulous interior, but I feel like this image is hard to absorb. I think maybe there's just too much in it. Did you mean to have it slightly not level? I think if you tried to level it and then focused in on the middle pillars, that might work better. Maybe also decreasing the highlights, increasing contrast? I fooled around with it a little - what do you think? Posted: 01/12/2026 10:46:09

Good Exercise. I never wanted it to be symmetrical; it is exactly the way I wanted it to be. Posted: 01/17/2026 10:18:12
This looks to be a beautiful church. The colors appear to be off to me. Perhaps you needed to use a different white balance setting. Also the perspective seems to be off which I think Laurie has corrected. Posted: 01/17/2026 10:10:31
Unique view of the gorgeous interior of Sagrada Familia! Using more level view might take away the distracting bright lights. But it is very nice! Posted: 01/17/2026 13:35:36
A dramatic image of beautiful architecture with columns, a repeating ceiling pattern, and a warm, glowing golden color makes it an interesting travel photo. I understand you just like it the way it is. Posted: 01/18/2026 01:43:58
Probably my favorite cathedral ever. So many different views can be found and you captured a good one. I appreciate your angled view and your desire to keep it that way but my eyes keep going to the nine bright and glaring lights at the top, diminishing my appreciation of the beautiful stained glass and the color created by the sunlight streaming through those windows. Which is why I prefer the alternatives shown. But it's your photo and if it pleases you, so be it. Posted: 01/18/2026 11:09:01
Unfortunately I haven't seen the cathedral since the 1980s when it was far from completion. There must be a ton of ways to photograph it, and this is an interesting one. It seems to me that the color rendering is probably not the way it looks inside the cathedral, so Pinaki must have had a reason to render it so red. I would be interested in what his reasoning was.

I just went back and looked at my photos. The windows do, depending on the perspective and the time of day, reflect a lot of orange on the cathedral. So the color doesn't disturb me at all. Here's a view of the light coming from the windows. Posted: 01/21/2026 14:02:47
Thanks. That makes sense. Posted: 01/21/2026 14:08:06
