The lighting you managed to capture in the second photo is truly wonderful. Not only can you still make out the silhouette of the tree limbs beyond (which adds an extra depth, more dimension), but those same limbs operate with the window leading to cast shadows on the pews. It sacralizes the space - this coupling of luminosity and calm and prayerful revelation. The fact that there are no figures visible in the photo adds a universality as well as a focus on the place itself rather than any particular individual inhabiting it.
All of your photographs are really well exposed and edited. You have strong blacks and bright whites. My favorite photograph is number one. I love the composition. There is just enough information for the viewer to understand what they are looking at. My favorite part of this photograph is the negative space. There is interesting geometric shapes happening within it. I like the tension between where the sky meets and building begins. You have a good sense of where the light is in photographs two and four. I would like to see more of this in future images.
I think that your first and second photographs are your strongest pictures. The way that the church is photographed makes it feel really empty which is interesting. On second thought, you've managed to make an entire city look empty. It's actually enjoyable because it feels so odd to look at these massive buildings that stand so silently. I could see you going farther with this desolate kind of feeling, it could be neat. There is a good understanding of light and values in all of your pictures though so nice work.
The second and fourth images have extremely gorgeous lighting that draws out a wide range of tones. It creates a calming sensation despite the locations being still and silent. In some instances, your figure can be seen in the reflection of the windows, so I recommend caution but still experiment with photographing images such as these!
You have great tonal range in your photos! I can tell you are very interested in architecture and photographing buildings and spaces, (possible theme for final portfolio?). I'm not sure if your reflection was intentional in the 3rd and 7th photos and if not I would be weary of that.
The second photograph is the most captivating for me! I really love the serene feeling I get from looking at it. I think that your sixth picture has the most empowering energy coming from it just because of the angle and the way the vertical lines really have this dominant presence. Your tonal contrast in the fourth picture is AWESOME! I think this is your most successful picture this week because it captures smooth texture, repetition, and great contrast really says about the way you think about your pictures.
