 Was going to discard this because it was too dark but noticed the reflection in the window and was startled at first. It looks like and old man's ghost. I'm sure it is just a reflection but---

I'd like it a bit more if the edge of the church was in the very center of the image.

If it's a spirit, it looks a bit evil.

i'm not sure i like the drainage pipe going up the wall of the building. also wish you could have used a bit more unsharp mask to highlight the pattern of the bricks, perhaps a bit more saturation to bring out the red as well.
the trees in the background draw attention away from the cross at the bottom left which is a pity, and the hydrowire going to the church is a bit distracting as well. fortunately, most of these things can be fixed in photoshop with some clone brush and usm, saturation.

Good idea to include the sigh on the right to the photo, but the photo seems to be a little bit underexposed.

From your title, I see the "spirit reflection", but the overall composition isn't very exciting for me. The way the building edge is centered almost breaks this into two photos - at least to my viewpoint.

I like the scale of this. I know I often go for the towering effect without the right epuipment and get that "leaned back" look.
