I generally don't like shots where there is a lot of distortion from a wide angle lens but this shot is different. I think the angle that you took it from turns that distortion into an asset.

The lighting and color are supurb. It's amazing that you were able to get that kind of lighting from the inside of the building. I guess you got it at the right time.

I didn't vote in this challenge but this shot would have been an 8-9 from me.

Love the 3 very different lighting aspects, the bright front, shadowed tower, and colorfully lit windows on the side.

I like this a lot - it has a very New England Gothic feel to it. Great job!

The title really works with this. Love the reddish tint to the side with the play of the shadows, gives it a haunted feel. Only distraction I see is the white to the front of the church, it just seems a little out of place to the "feeling" I get from this picture. Nicely done and good luck

Nice. I like the texture of the shadows on the wall; I wish the front weren't so bright.

This is a great angle, re "composition", and also love the strong color tones as well.....
