Looking for the keystone Photo

Photographer’s Note

I was here to take picture of the repetition of a classic concert taking place in the now famous church Saint Sulpice in Paris. But you know what it is, musicians weren't all here and I got some couple of quaters to take pictures in church. Several tourists were there to visit this beautiful place but some were not here for the church but because of the keystone...

Hi Christophe, welcome to TE!

This is a superb first posting. The level of detail and perspective are superb. Did you handhold for this shot?

I love the unique pov here.
You have managed to show the enormous scale of the church. Maybe if it had a little more contrast. Nevertheless, I like it.

This is an amazing perspective. I love the B&W tones. I haven't yet seen the movie but I've read the book. It's crazy how much of an affect The Da Vinci Code has had on pop culture these last couple of years. I'm sure the amount of visitors to this church has gone up dramatically. This really is a great shot Cristophe. I can't wait to see more of your photos.
Regards,
Ryan

Salut Cristophe,
Very good first post! Impressive perspective, showing well the space of this lovely churche, which is not easy to get. I love the graphic decoration of the widing ceiling and the distortion of the perspective. Also like the people and the convertion to B&W seemed to work well. It's a pitty that the small size. It would have a much bigger impact if it had 800px.
Congratulations!
Merci,
Ricardo
