Was actually taking a picture of the steeple, because I really liked the way the morning light made the windows glow. When I pulled back I noticed how the trees just seemed to frame it. I liked it.

A bit to bright and the tower not as sharp as I would like to see it, the softening on it doesn't give it the key on the picture it should hold. I like the texture on the leaves though.
I am not fond of the subject or the framing in this particular photo. I find the subject to be lacking interest and to contraversial for a challenge. I also find that there is only a partial frame but you will not get marked down for that. I find the photo has to much contrast from the sky and giving the building a fuzzy/soft focus look which I find unnecessary and very distracting. I also find that you may have a clarity issue with the tree leaves which may or may not be corrected by a slight levels adjustment or color adjustment. However dispite my personal views on the building I find that this could have made for a nicer shot(for this particular building) if the sky was blue or stormy grey and a little more focused. Good luck in this challenge. <5>
