By de-emphasising the church you have effectively concentrated attention on the sky, which on its on isn't interesting. I think that you would need to add more 'punch' to the church to make this one work. In general, selective desaturation is used to emphasise the most important part of the photo, but you've gone the other way here. If there was interesting cloud cover it might have worked better.
I'm undecided about correcting the perspective shift in this one. In some ways it suits the shot given your composition. A closer, more exaggerated view of of the church (still looking up) would have been even more dramatic, and vertical distortion would have added extra impact.
Finally, you chose the wrong time of day for this one - the church is in shadow which de-emphasises it even more. You have some elements of a powerful image here - maybe some more post-processing to emphasise the church would work wonders. |
