Hi Phong,
> Anyway, "kissy assed" sounds like a fight picking phrase to me"

Naw that's the way to get some attention and people into talking about the 
simplistic comment syndrome. ;-) Glad you took the bait! ;-)

Now I could hardly say " I like it, nice photo!" :-) WHY?

Simply because it's a very fine photograph, well seen and executed. The 
composition is excellent so there isn't any waste space.

I also like the atmosphere feel even though one, could or might say, a 
slight smigin' levels alteration might give it a tad more darkened effect."

But that's an opinion only clarified when prints are side by each for 
comparison. :-) It's a very difficult thing when one makes a sugegstion of 
darkening or lightening a picture when you can't put the suggestion into 
effect and look at the two prints beside each other.

Particularly as in this case of the church, it woud be so subtle the prints 
would have to be together to see if the adjustment made sense or not.

Besides on a computer screen one can hardly see a very subtle adjustment or 
not.

Don't lurk to long, as you've posted fine photographs in the past and 
contributed to the conversations on many occasions.
