Greetings from the Critique Club!!

Upon first view of this my first thought is that the focal point of the shot is in shadow. Maybe that was your intent, as it is a gravyard and the sun has already set on its inhabitants. BUT, it does make it difficult to appreciate the texture and variation of color. I think you could achieve that same goal with the use of possibly a sepia filter, to denote an old nostalgic sense yet have the light coming from a different angle. The perspective is good. The angle from which you see the church is interesting and the various shapes work this way versus being shot straight on. The composition is good and I like the single tree to the left as a grounding force which also serves as a semi-frame. Keep up the good work. All the best, Judy

Nice composition and creativity. The area above the roof is a bit blown out but not too bad.

I kind of like the halo effect the light has around the church and the brighter moldings around the windows. Nice angle too.
