Yes, I agree with you, and the photograph is an excelent illustration.
However, note that in the church wall there are random bricks that have more
or less the color of the surroundings. They function like a kind of harmonic
counterpoint to the whole. Perhaps also, the size/ratio of your bricks could
be slightly smaller.
Oh well... These are just small things coming to my mind. Stays the fact
that you have created a fascinating scene.

I truly like those sculptures! There is an echo there of Nordic sculptures I
believe. Very expressive.
Wings3D seems to become a "standard" with Povrayers! I am experimenting also
with it and it gives great results. I was fond of Hamapatch, but I think
Wings3D is going to supersede it...
