Kevin,
Yes, possibly only 4, in fact. That's the hardest part, and perhaps one of the instigators for the varied opinions here.

thanks,

Yikes, four? There a a few there that would be hard to not include. Good luck, it's going to be tough, be true to your own vision.

You've got an ok sense of "church" but what I would suggest doing is going back and looking for the details which set this particular church apart. Every church has organs, and pews and such, but what makes this one different? It's through those details, and not through the general impression of "churchness" that you'll get more impact. Shots 3, 5, 6, and 12 (if you put back the color to go with the others) are good. If it were my pictures, I'd only use 3, 6, and 12 though, because 3 and 5 are so similar and because the lights have a little more space in 3. Also, the blurred organist really doesn't work for me. Work on lining things up in the frame so that they don't bump into each other. Frame 6 has that with the light fixture being interrrupted with something coming off the column; what if you moved a foot or 6 inches to the right and gave both elements their own space? Frame 12 is nice in that respect, though; everything is lined up, and the space works. There are a couple that would be much better for a few inches to the right or left, that's all. Don't get me wrong, you're doing well. Just keep shooting.

edit: didn't see how old this was untill after I posted, I'm sure your assignment is over by now. oops.
