Great capture. The blue of the church roof against the grey sky really make is stand out. Nice job capturing the sun rays.

O wow... this is really amazing. The sky looks spectacular. The church has an odd glow, though. Too much dodging, perhaps? I would have liked to have seen it with more contrast. Fantastic job, though.

Nice use of HDR to bring out the sky and allow the details of the steeples to show through

not bad but something just looked off in it. It seems like you should have used the whole church.

6 from me. You seem to have met the challenge well. I'm not fond of the composition. It leaves me wondering what the rest of the building looks like. Overall the colors are nice, however the coloring in the steeples and roof blue, look very unnatural and grainy. Good luck. Fairly good balance between shadows and highlights.
