beautiful structure but i don't like the low contrast. The sky is really cool and increased contrast would make it more dramatic. 6

I like this.... photo? Except it appears to be a sketching.

Where do people find these incredibly cool skies? Mine never looks that interesting! Nice tones. It looks a bit like a burn tool followed the cloud through the steeple, which makes the steeple blend into said cloud a little too much.

I like the way the clouds in the sky almost look like smoke.

Almost appears like a pencil sketch. Editing is different but I like different. And the tone works very nice with this church. Well done. 7

Holy crap (no pun intended)! This thing is tone-mapped to the moon and back. Usually I like a pretty heavy hand, but this is a bit much even for me. The whole thing also seems to tilt to the right a bit. Other than those things, I like it!

I like the PP in this shot and the tone is very nice. It could be the lens but the church looks like it is slanted to the right and could be cropped straight.

I like this processing. It is very flat, but I don't mind that.

very interesting monotone HDR, must try that...

Nice moody sky enhances the building. Could have maybe increased the levels at the top end in the sky to make it more dramatic. Good symmetry. Possibly a slight ccw rotation during the cropping to square up the steps with the bottom of the frame

The muddling-up of the tonality of this is just too much for me - takes it out of the realm of the photographic completely I feel: if you're at liberty to re-organise the light in this way, what's the point of using your camera?

Beyond which, it has a certain compositional grace to it: I like the slight madness of obscuring the spire with that tree, and the balancing of that with the almost hyper-domestic seeming porchway. Subversive, and fun.

Your image seems to be suffering from the HDR process (if you used it). I think the light smoothing values were too low.

very cool idea but i really would have liked a bit more spread of the exposure from 'black' to 'white'

Like an old timey charcoal drawing. I like it.
