Detail - door surround, St Augustine Cathedral

Above the beautiful wood doors that serve as the main entry to the church you will see a cast narrative of life and faith in the desert southwest, including the cross and anchor, the iconic saguaro and prickly pear cacti,and even a rendering of the Mission San Xavier del Bac. San Xavier, just south of Tucson, is said to be the finest example of mission architecture in the United States.

This says more to than the shot of the entire building -- the color is elegant and steeped in antiquity. The crop is strong as well, making good use of the geometry. Did you shoot images of the scuplture over the door?
