Excellent clarity in this image. My mind wants to see more of the setting around the outside of the church building, including the bottome of the steps. I love the photo.
Good selection of subject. Nice lighting, good viewpoint and cropping. There seems to be some problems with wide angle lens distortion and that the image has been altered in post processing causing strange vertical lines near the edges. -6
The tonal range and the treatment of the skyhere are uber-ansel, congratulations. The composition itself, with the lack of breathing room on all sides, is distinctly lackluster. In particular, we really need more foreground, quite a bit more.
