Didn't think this would turn out, as I needed to open up the lens to almost full aperture using a shutterspeed of1/60sec, taken in Blackburn cathedral, the almost directly overhead sunlight was streaming down through the cathedral's lantern tower an illuminating the steps and pillar with this brilliant orange glow.

Great shot

Thanks Melody, and welcome aboard.

Remarkably well-exposed for the conditions at hand.  I fiddled a little with it in GIMP, but I can't say I found anything I like better than your version.

Might be worth going back to get a denser negative on faster film; the composition is great, and that color is otherworldly.

It has an interesting interplay of light, shadows, color tones, and geometrics.

Tough conditions.  Looks a little washed out.  Not sure if that's the effect of the light or the harsh conditions you were dealing with.
