Your processing really punches out the gothic, Ian. A grand image with a touch of humanity.

Small and informs silhouette that seems sublime in architecture ... I see this beautiful picture as an allegory.

I know the city of Manchester but I did not visit this cathedral which seems magnificent. Very beautiful dosage of the monochrome and of course your framing
