Beautiful shot. I love the colorful dusk sky and the dark foreground. I'm a bit bored with the "religious symbol as grace" motif by now -- only because I've seen it so much in this challenge. But technically, the shot is wonderful.
The sky seems a little over-edited making it have somewhat of an unrealistic look. The very bright spots are also fairly distracting. I like how it's framed with the leaves, but the top right corner section has a loss of detail, which makes it just look like a big black blob. The focus also seems to be on the branches instead of the steeple, which has fairly soft edges in comparison. The edges also have a slight halo suggesting that they may have been oversharpened.
I like the contrast between the clouds, the strong light and the shadow of the church. The leafs adds to the overall impression.
One of the better photos in this challenge!
Nice cloud and light interest in the sky and the silhouette is pleasingly simple. The cloud at top left is letting through just a touch too much bright white light I think. Also I find this somewhat sinister image, it kind of makes me think of how the church (in the UK) is losing followers and is in a dark hour. That's just me though. Pink light at the edge of the clouds is the nicest element.
