How beautiful is this?! They should print it large and put it someplace where people could study and enjoy it without having to lie on their backs or crane their necks to do so LOL Great light, color, symmetry and detail, Chris, and your alignment is perfect. #9515421

Magnificent is the artwork of the masons and painters who built it and equally mesmerizing is your capture doing justice to their immaculate work. Good luck with this, fingers crossed, Chris!!!
