Liverpool Anglican Cathedral - Competition Win!
Posted by Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 30 October 2009 in Documentary & Street and Portfolio.
I entered this photo a few months ago into a photo competition being organised by Liverpool Cathedral and the Liverpool Daily Post & Echo newspaper.
I was invited to the prize giving ceremony on Wednesday evening which was held inside the cathedral and I was amazed and delighted when my name was read out as the first prize winner in the adult category!
I took a couple of photos of the event which you can see here or here

Congratulations. It's a lovely shot; I can feel the coolness and stillness of being inside a cathedral. The highlights and vertical scale work well.

congratulations! this is a superb photo indeed - i like the light arrangement here - the path of light really sets the focus on the person - almost as if a torch was shines directly at her from behind the wall... the person also helps to see the scale of this place...

Inspired - Ian. The shadow and scale are powerful. The bath of light behind your subject and the fine light and detail to the arch at rear - all come together. A magnificent image. 5-Stars.
