Just had this in mind, as inspired by a similar shot of Ken Rockwell's taken of a church a bit north of here - (ok, not so similar.. He's much, much better).
I'm guessing this might pull down a 5.8 - 6
My dream score on this is anywhere in the 6's.

I like this shot. The B&W processing is well done and the black sky adds to the depth. It is nicely contrasted by the white door. The overall composition provides interest and the image takes advantage of the power of diagonal lines to provide dynamics. I think you did well on this one. The only downside I see is it seems the most in-focus portion is the column on the left rather than the church itself.
Congrats on getting a dream score and a new personal best! Great tones in this and really nice use of angles while still meeting the challenge very well!
