Photographer's Note
The Flagler Memorial Presbyterian Church was built by Henry Flagler in 1889. It is one of his most significant projects, because it was constructed as a memorial to Flagler’s only daughter, Jenny. The mausoleum adjacent to the church is where Flagler, his daughter, granddaughter and first wife are buried. At first sight, many are awed by the church's grand Venetian Renaissance-style architecture. Inside and out, every detail was attended to and as is evident, money was no object at the time of its design. Flagler’s masterpiece features hand-carved Santo Domino mahogany, detailed terra cotta frieze work by Italian artists and a massive copper dome. Tours of the church are available daily and offer guests a personal look at this touching memorial and historic site.

It is an impressive church with a very nice architecture. The sky is very well polarised but the church, the façade and part of the dome seam to be a bit over-exposed. Well done and congratulations on the new 50D.

Hi Asa,
You have captured this beautiful Renaissance style church in fantastic lighting conditions that bring out all its striking details.
The orange Spanish style roof looks wonderful against the vivid blue sky that contrast brilliantly with the tropical palms.
This wonderfully maintained church must have cost a pretty penny back in its day.
Regards, Tom

Beautiful church which is shown of more by the deep intense blue sky, I like that. First rate detail throughout nothing you could do about cars in the frame.
Well done

Hello Asa,
an impressive sight, indeed! Very beautiful church and very beautiful bright sunny colours! I don't mind slight overexposing some parts of the church, and I don't mind the cars - nowadays we can't get rid of them, they are everywhere!
Excellent POV, very good composition including all the necessary and interesting details. The trees (especially those on the right) look incredibly lovely :)
best regards,
Elena

hello Asa
This is the 1st post from 50D that I have seen and it is not disappointing to see the quality of the shot.
Saturation of color and contrast is very good from the use of CPL. The POV and composition is done well for this majestic looking church.
I agree about the cars, no way to avoid unless a crop which is subjective preference.

Hi Asa,
Ah… Beautiful sun of Florida !!! Here this morning, I hear that it rains much on Versailles and here is a beautiful photograph which puts sun in my head to go to work !!! Beautiful development of this church which has a very rich architecture seems it. Thank you for the interior photographs, the stained glasses must be splendid and could, I think, of making the subject of a publication.
With all my friendships and with soon,

Hello Asa,
A most interesting and unusual church. The light colours of the church make a fine contrast with the deep blue polarised sky. Very good clarity.

Bonjour Asa,
Je n'imaginais pas que l'on puisse trouver aux USA une telle architecture, très colorée et d'un style qui rappelle le baroque!
Le bleu du ciel rehaussé par l'effet du polariseur fait magnifiquement ressortir les couleurs de cette Flager Church!
Amicalement

Bonjour Asa,
La cathédrale est imposante et présente une architecture qui m'est peu familière, mais belle, intéressante. La végétation ici présente montre la douceur du climat de Floride.
Merci pour le bon résumé joint à ta photo.
Excellente journée

Interesting pseudo moorish architecture, makes a nice combination with the tropical vegetation, perhaps I would crop out 10% or so from the bottom to eliminate some of the parked car roofs.

Perfect composition with a good setting and a great treatment of the light and of the colors, which gives a nice aesthetic effect and catches finely the interesting architecture of the church, with a fantastic blue sky like backdrop.
Beautiful work.

Hello Asa,
You show here a wonderful picture with this church as subject.
Extraordinarily architecture, a miscellany between Baroque and also a part Gothic.
Composition and perspective are very well, I look it with pleasure to this picture. Sharpness and clarity are perfect.
Very well done, TFS

The palm trees are framing well the church. The point of view is allowing us to see the details and colors of the architecture of the church. The picture is clear and precise. The nice blue sky is sending the light which is enhancing the colors. Have a nice day.

Des couleurs très fortes Asa, sans doute le point fort de cette photo. Les voitures gênent un peu, mais je croi qu'il vaut mieux les avoir en entier que coupées en deux, c'est mon avis en tous cas.
Des lumières peut-être un rien trop fortes sur les zones exposées au soleil.
Best regards
Daniel.
