Originally posted by Andi Lo I'd disagree. I think distortion should either be deliberately or none. A little bit is distracting. Just imho of course though. I'd prefer the first with a little bit more distortion. Second one is good, and would be my pick. Maybe the new buildings can be incorporated into the photography? A lot of architectural photographs that I like have two of the three 'near-middle-far' element, so I thought including a tree or urban element for framing would be nice too.
Another thing is that I'm guessing this is not the main entrance? I couldn't find a door in the photo with big enough size to accommodate the sunday churchgoers.

Andi, I'll try a few other angles, next week, trying to add something else to the photo. You are right, this is actually taken from the back corner of the church, the front entrance is at the tower side. For the normal tourist shot, you have to stand in the middle of, yes... "Church" street, the main street in town, and it was to busy to do that. I'll see about getting a shot early one morning perhaps
