Church Worship

[glorybound]

Here is one I am working on. It didn't turn out as nice as I had hoped. I reluctantly use people, especially for close-ups, but the room was weak without them. These are the best people I have in my library, and the project doesn't have the budget for nicer ones. Anyway... as usual... any advice would be appreciated.

my 2 cents:
I would get rid of the people, find a view that has some open floor, so you get some nice semi-glossy reflection, and get rid of the post-pro "haze" that's blurring the image. Maybe angle the shot up some so you see more of the ceiling.
Best,

Andy

Like it... Think the people do a good job at this resolution - except those closest in the right.
The candles... I would make them a warmer color and make sure they provide some atmosphere

It looks too sinister, gloomy, perhaps make it less warm and dreaming.

ugh, brown carpet... nevermind about the view suggestion, I realize now you were trying to hide something I prefer the first view, and I almost think having the people may be a good distraction from the vinyl foreground chairs. Maybe there's some way to emphasize the interesting architectural parts without having so much of the less inspiring pieces in view.

I am liking it, for what it is. The space is pretty boring so, I am trying to save it with lights. Here are the last two with a colder feel, to neutralize all the orange. I haven't really compared the two, yet.

I went bright on the carpet. I might try blue, to counter the orange ceiling.
