The soft focus on this is a bit distracting and I think it would have worked much better in color, I would love to see the color version, are the trees turning yet? The composition is good, though the large tree on the right is slightly distracting.
I love black and white church photos. They convey a timeless sort of mystery. I love a black and white shot on a sunny day too. Nice textures in the trees that frame the subject beautifully. There is a simplicity to this that really works.
