The Church On The Hill

I think that a few steps to the left would improve this a lot for me. The angle and framing seem a bit off. You have chopped the left side of the photo (right side of the church) and that's generally a no-no. The horizontal line of the roof is not horizontal. This is due to your funky angle. Your sky is pretty bland. Looks like an overcast day, not a lot of lighting, and it hurts the shot in my opinion. If the lighting were a bit stronger, I think it would bring out the gardening in the front of the building a bit. See how there seem to be some interesting things in there? They all kind of merge into each other because the detail is hindered by the lighting. Try a different day, or different time of day. Who knows, sometimes you can get a really cool effect when the sun is really low to the horizon. I'd try it with the sun in front of the building, really low in the sky. Hopefully, it's facing the right way for that to work. lol. I think that the building has interest, and definately photo worthy. Also, your focus and clarity are really good here despite the lighting conditions. Definately doesn't look hand held, and if it is, you did a wonderful job with that. ~heather~
