Which version works better from a composition point of view -- this one, showing the crosses more clearly, or the other one, showing the nuns and the stairway more prominently? Thanks for your advice.
Ah! This makes more sense re the comparison! I went to the wrong one. So, I like this one for its sense of anticipation, and I thought the movement of the closeup nuns was a little distracting from the crosses in the wall, which seemed to be the focal point. Here, they work well together in the nuns adding context. Good to see your images, btw!
Same as Taffy @taffy -- I went to the wrong one first. I like the other a bit better. More dynamic, with a sense of my actually being there, about to go up the stairs. Though there is some halo/outline on the nun in the middle (of the other photo) which distracts my eye a bit.
Same as @taffy too. This one is definitely my preference, no tourists or other distractions and the diagonal between the nuns and the carvings works very well.
I think this one evokes a greater sense of mystery... and intrigue... which prolly wasn’t what you were going for - but I quite like that aspect of the image nonetheless ...
