[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Here this is the famous organ from cathedral St Just in Narbonne.
This organ was during a long time just attached to the wall.
It has been built in several step and full restored after a big fire.
It is tall and splendid with all its tubes crowned by Angels.

I increased contrast from PSE then cropped picture to follow the voute and create a cross in this composition.

I find this organ imposing...

Very nice organ indeed. It’s complexity and decoration are great.

Organs are a very nice subject but very, very hard to photograph as they are huge and the cameras never have a lens wide enough to capture all. Also their high position create a lot of perspective distortion which is hard to control.

And this is felt in your photo as you were able to capture only a small part of it. In this case, and by the fact that the lower set of tubes also had angels and rich decorations I believe you could have focused your attention on them because you would get a better view with less distortion and with a more complete and balanced image, even if you’d loose the bigger tubes. Another option is to take several photos and assemble them.
