Have you given these some HDR treatment ? They look a little unnatural to me.
Very interesting shots nonetheless !

Not really my kinda subject but the 2nd one is impressive and gives a really good sense of how big the place is. The first one doesn't do much for me, I find the glass background distracts from the crucifix.
Interesting how the walls are only peeling on one side of the building!

I used a bit of pseudo HDR (5 exposures, 1 shot), but with a lightish touch - not a fan of obviously HDR'd images...it's another pp tool, but it shouldn't define a picture IMO.Have you given these some HDR treatment ? They look a little unnatural to me.

Probably the side most open to the air when it was a ruin. I know what you mean about the glass though, I might have a go at toning it down to make the crucifix stand-out a little more.Not really my kinda subject but the 2nd one is impressive and gives a really good sense of how big the place is.

Although I'm not a church-goer I love to wander around Catherdrals and decent old churches (normally looking for WW1 related stuff) and I like these; however, as I think you've noticed, the colours are a wee bit OTT. But just desaturating them a tad will make a world of difference to these pictures and, I think, will make them winners.
