Greetings from the Critique Club...

Hi sparky_mark :)

The subject you chose for your entry is a good one, but I believe your approach to it could use a little work. The time of day for this particular photo doesn't seem to be a great choice when coupled with the weather. The shadows and highlights are fairly harsh, which is normal for a sunny day. My particular irritation is with the door to the church in the lower left corner. You need to find a way to include that element fully or to remove it completely. I have no idea what the landscape here looks like so I can't suggest any alternative views. This one just doesn't feel comfortable to me.

I like the inclusion of the roses in front to add another element.

i'd like so see more of the foreground but the exposure is good. a little blown on the statue. a slightly wider lens would have nailed this

It is hard to get these churches all in one photo. You did a heck of a job here.
