I feel it could have been cropped lower, there seems to be a lot of different colours distracting at the side, but that is only my opinion and good luck

The composition is very interesting and I really like how the sillohettes form a natural frame for the subject. It's very geomtric and simple/clean and technically works quite well. I wish there were a bit more light on the steeple and cross, it feels slightly flat and under-exposed. I think that would have also kicked up the mood and impact of the image a notch. Well done! 8o)

Bit washed out. Bring the sky out. More contrast would be great too.

There are a lot who will vote this down simply because it is religious. Before I even looked at one life or death photo I had already decided to to add 3 points to whatever the score would have been if it had a religious theme (in order to offset those who vote it down just for the same reason).
