Greetings from the Critique Club, Rúnar :)

Composition: I like the composition. The angle below makes the church look more mighty which somehow fits to the historic context. On the other hand the church being made of wood does not look like a very monumental one ;-) Seeing the sky is nice. To me it conveys the heavenly part of the building.

Lighting: In my opinion this is the weakest part of the photo. The lighting looks very normal and flat and generally a bit overexposed. I also would like to see more contrast. I loaded you photo into my image editor and did contrast +110 and lighting -80. I know that my taste is not shared by many people but I would like this much more than the current lighting.

Focus: Everything is in focus. I think that's appropriate.

Challenge: Well, I agree with the people that it doesn't fulfill the "fill the frame" challenge. But you'd lose only one point for that on my scale. But when I look at your final score I guess other people vote more strictly...

Creativity: The subject itself is not that interesting but your angle made it.

Good luck in the future challenges,
Stephan

Flott mynd, ég var alveg viss um að þetta væri í bandaríkjunum, datt ekki í hug að þetta væri á Ãslandi. Kveðja, Tyrkinn

Nice....I like architectural photography. It doesn't really fill the frame though. Still good.

Unfortunately, it doesn't quite manage to 'fill the frame,' imho. The sky does add a relief, a distance, that lest you appreciate the church ... but by the same token, it also takes it out of this particular topic.
