I had just finished playing Ultimate Frisbee (go Fighting Pacifists!) and driven to where we were having dinner.
I looked up and there was this church, with the last light of the day making it stand out against the sky.
Editing was mostly a matter of cloning out the halo that came from the camera's sharpening. Did a little perspective correction. Then I used curves to increase the contrast, cloned out the top of a streetlight in the trees, resized, saved. Noise reduction. No cropping.

i like this alot, as just a picture it is really stunning, but to get the higher score i think it was just missing something, its a great building and the lighting really is amazing as well as the blue of the sky.
Actually the tree edges adds some texture to help balance the smoothness of the building. I love photographs at this time of day and this captures that beautiful light well.
Apparently you should have cut down the tree. :-) Colors in this are wonderful - you did a really good job of capturing the light at that time of day. Very good detail on the structure as well!
Excellent composition and very pleasant perspective transformation to remove trapezoidal effects. or, you have a fine tilt-shift lens. Becautiful complementary colors of sky and masonry. Superb! (9)
really like the change in the shade of blue. i would have maybe preferred this if the tree wasnt in the way of the building but short of cutting it down there wasnt much you could do about it.
