About the Image(s)
This is a picture I took in the village of Burford in the Cotswolds in the UK in Oct, 2024. It is a picture of the Anglican church of St John the Baptist, which began construction in 1175 and was completed in the mid-1500s: a really beautiful parish church. It was cloudy and overcast most of the day, but for about 10 minutes the sun came out while I was at the church, and I was able to get this image with my cellphone. My phone tells me that it was shot at F2.2 at ISO 50 for 1/500 sec. I was attracted to the flowers in the foreground, the leading line of the pathway to the church, the sky and clouds that set off the steeple, dark cemetery stones to the right which emphasized the lightness of the church. (The Cotswolds are a very picturesque region of England, and Burford had many picture-worthy sights.)

My only recommendation is purely related to architectural photography - the perspectives must be perfect, otherwise it gives the impression that the buildings are falling backward! I took the liberty of adjusting the vertical lines and rotation (tools available in the "perspective" section of photo programs). This forced me to crop slightly your image (mainly the width).
