No Gen., I rather like the dark corners...even better if the green were darker like the magnolia leaves. Being able to see thru the glass to the far windows is quite a good thing too. I doubt this could have been done without a longer than normal exposure. Yea, the white is a bit bright but you can probably fix this in ps. Far site better than where it placed.
Being new to "long exposure" myself, it's taken me a bit to understand how and when to use it. When you use it to take a photo of a regular object, you get an extra bright object. Long exposure doesn't work well for this photo. Perhaps if you had taken it at night, we would have gotten a better feel for the subject. Good luck!
This is a long exposure in that it is longer than what would be "normal" in a deliberate attempt to isolate the windows within the white-on-white (high-key) building against the blown-out sky. I wanted to hold just the barest possible detail in the columns while making the windows look relatively normal. I guess I should have left out the "dark corners" and just made it a pure high-key photo.
However, it is not "over-exposed" it is deliberately exposed for longer than would be normal ... which I thought was the point of the challenge.
A "normal" exposure would have looked more like this:

A beautiful steeple shot but the contrast brightness ratio is off. The tilt of the photo is an odd angle and is very distracting. The photo does for the most part have some good clarity tho. Good luck in this challenge. <5>
The reason for giving you a <5> is because it does fit the challenge by being washed out looking. A normal exposure would not have been so washed out.
Sorry, but this is really overexposed. Didn't make for a good image, because if you didn't know the topic was long exposure, this would simply look like a bad photo.
This is very overexposed. If you had attempted it at dusk maybe, while there was still a bit of light in the sky, just before dark you might have had a better result. If they light the belfry at night it would have made a great shot then.
