Photographer's Note
An internal view with a fish eye from St Pierre Cathedral in Geneva.
Its construction started in the XIIth century and lasted for centuries. That's why it seems, it's a blend of many different styles. Excavations carried out beneath the cathedral found artifacts belonging to the Roman period.
The cathedral is best known as the adopted home church of John Calvin (Jean Chauvin), one of the leaders of the Protestant Reformation. Inside the church is a wooden chair used by Calvin.

Cropped, increased sharpness.

Very nice architectural forms and also the organ. Good light in the picture.
IDK if you wanted it like that, but the fisheye effect is almost not visible
Good work and regards, F.

Hi Erdem - I like the elegant simplicity of this shot, good symmetry, repeat pattens and limited colour palette.
Best regards Rosemary
