Nice use of the pathway to show motion towards the belltower. Maybe if you tried a bit lower angle (close to ground), the lines would stand out better. The tower also seems to be tilting to the right a bit, a small rotation would fix that. The trees also look oversharpened to me. The brightness on the stone on the lower right side might be better if it weren't in the image. I like the image, but I think it could use a few improvements, but great idea. PM me if you have any questions.

too tilted to the R
there is a tutorial on how to fix this sort of things in DPC tutorials, if I remember correctly

Nice contrast and rich feel in the tonal quality

While this meets the leading lines challenge topic, I'd love to see it rotated a little to the left and try to remove some of the purple fringe around the trees. This happens when you have a really grey or white sky... not to easy to fix, unfortunately. I like the red and white colors contrasted with the greens and greys.

I think that perhaps this could be a little straighter and that the sky is rather plain. Have you tried cropping some off the top and the right?

Seems a little tilted toward the right. Was that intentional? If so, why?

The photo is crooked and the whites are blown out on the bell tower and the plaque in the forground, right side. A neat image though.

to get rid of purple fringes in Photoshop

new adjustment layer>hues/saturation, roll down from master to magenta, then adjust saturation from 0 to -80 and adjust lightness to +15, then grab the slider at the bottom and move it to the left, but be sure to stay in the magenta range, aka. greater than 223

the crooked horizon hurts the overall appearance of this photo
