Well done in every respect!
I'm surprised that an orange filter darkened the sky so much. Did you also burn the top portion some?

Thank you!

No, I did not burn any of the sky portion. I gave each of the the bell towers, just the area that has the five windows in front, not above that, a 0.5 stop burn. And the upload to Photrio kills my shadow placements (edit: I should clarify, on my phone screen, desktop screen is more accurate) and the sky is not as dark in the actual print.

The sky that day was deeply blue saturated, helping that orange filter alot. I'm thinking of trying to print this by split-grade, maybe controlling that sky a bit better. Maybe not, the print looks really good as is too.
