Spires of St Barbara, a photo from Prague, Bohemia

Photographer's Note

The spires of the church of St Barbara in Kutna Hora. Only a short trip from Prague, Kutna Hora is often overlooked in preference to Prague. One of the most famous monuments in Kutna Hora is the Gothic church of St Barbara, patron saint of the miners. The interior features frescos, a pillared pulpit dating from 1665 and a rococo organ.

This photo was taken late in the afternoon with the sun behind the central spire.

No cropping, minor adjustment to remove dust specks in PS.

I like the silouette of the spires in the this shot. Very moody. But I found the structures on either end a little distracting. I tried a workshop on it. See what you think.

That's a wonderfully atmospheric shot! The only drawback is that your picture seems a bit cluttered with so many spires and sculptures. Cropping it on the left side would probably help. Still, I like it a lot!
