Hi greetings from the Critique Club.

Interesting choice here, not a typique 'holy reverent' sort of feel, more dark and mysterious, like maybe the local anarchist or KKK, come here after hours. In that sense not sure how much it 'fits' challenge.
But I do think it is emotive shot, I think the tones are good and the lighting is nice, I like the prescence of the moon and in my opinion it probably makes the shot, that along with the missing boards on the church.
I see a couple tiny white flecks in the sky, not sure if it is e or the shot, I think they should get cloned out.

Good creative take on subject.
Nicely done

Little too dark, it might be my monitor though. Cant see much of the church.

My first impression was that the front of the church is too dark, but after looking at it for awhile, I think it works very well. The toning gives this shot a nice artistic touch, in my opinion.

Beautiful shot full mystic atmosphere that I like. It's maybe a bit too dark, but a very good shot nevertheless.

Spooky feel to this. Needs to be in a Slasher movie.

Is this a "could go into either challenge, can't decide" type of photo? I had a couple of those during this challenge too. Nice photo!

Excelent, I love it. The shadows and the moon out of focus really add to it.

Maybe could have used some levels adjustments to avoid having such a grey tone. Lots of midtones, but not many highlights or shadows.

Um, the moon was not full at any time during this challenge. Methinks that's the sun, and some fancy editing... or else this was taken outside the challenge dates. As far as it goes, it's a decent-enough image, although it would be better with more contrast.
