I have no favourite... seriously. I think all of them are superb. One of the best bunch of images I've seen in a long time.
I concur, bravo, nicely done

Yes, the first one for me too, and I'm swayed towards the monochrome one.
Thank you.

The first one for me, the lovely soft colours and you get a sense of the height and grandure of the building.
Thank you

Your better half is a true gem, to be treasured. Having a better half who doesn't regard your hanging around to take photos as a nuisance to be, at best, grudgingly tolerated must be a joy for you.

"true gem", "treasured" - there are other terms whIch spring to mind : -)
especially when i get "well go on then, f*** off and take some photos" . But since that is what we had set out to do, it is just another term of endearment! (right?)

If that isn't allowed, please edit accordingly

Thank you all for your kind comments and opinions.
I could not choose between colour and mono in this case and did achieve something very similar to @MikeInDevon's monochrome version but still preferred colour for the first shot.

A bit of background....
We saw an old building whilst on our way to the cathedral and decided to investigate. Once inside, I was marvelling at the architecture and ceiling when my better half suggested that this is the sort of thing I normally like to photograph. Couldn't believe my luck at what I considered to be almost perfect composition, framing and lighting so quickly got off a few shots without much time to consider settings etc in case the subject moved and/or saw me (hence my reference to snaps).
Very happy with the results even if they are not totally sharp

A couple more snaps from me taken in Palma de Mallorca earlier this year.
Colour or mono?
Wide framing or closer?

C&C welcome

Monochrome for me, nice work.
