Nice HDR effect. The church is not very hidden, but I like the idea. Bumping up.

GREAT shot but no title and not sure how it's a hidden treasure? 6

Argh. I typed a long comment in here just to have dpchallenge glitch on me and lose it all. Well, I'll try to recreate my comments. :-)

I'm not sure I see this as a "hidden treasure" The hidden part of it just isn't there for me. It must be a gem of a place to photograph, though. I think I would have preferred the sharpest focus to be on the church, rather than the fence. Overall the lighting seems a bit drab to me. I think some brightness/contrast work might have helped this pop a bit more. Also, I'm not sure what caused it... (usually I associate it with hdr), but there is a slight halo around the church and the tree. Was that from post processing? Overall, I like the angle, but I would definitely go back and try to catch it with some more dramatic lighting. 5

Intriguing composition. The glow around the trees and the building is a little distracting, but still a pleasing image.

Unless the church has a hidden meaning for the photographer, I see little hidden anything here. Sorry! Proves that titles sell voters :) I didnt mark it low but didnt mark it high either.
