Nice moody sky enhances the building. Could have maybe increased the levels at the top end in the sky to make it more dramatic. Good symmetry. Possibly a slight ccw rotation during the cropping to square up the steps with the bottom of the frame

Comment by e301:
The muddling-up of the tonality of this is just too much for me - takes it out of the realm of the photographic completely I feel: if you're at liberty to re-organise the light in this way, what's the point of using your camera?

Beyond which, it has a certain compositional grace to it: I like the slight madness of obscuring the spire with that tree, and the balancing of that with the almost hyper-domestic seeming porchway. Subversive, and fun.

Your image seems to be suffering from the HDR process (if you used it). I think the light smoothing values were too low.

Comment by bassbone:
very cool idea but i really would have liked a bit more spread of the exposure from 'black' to 'white'

Has a sense of mystery to it. From what I can tell, would be a good idea for Single Light, too!

Not sure if the strap across the chest is meant to be meaningful, but it draws my eye.
