Hey there from the Critique Club
Camera Work/Technical: It is very difficult to determine if this image is focused or not. There is a great deal of noise in the capture, but the focus looks off to me.
Lighting: Very nice, very even lighting. Nothing is overexposed, and the shadows work nicely to provide contrast to the image.
Composition/Content: I like what you were after here. Old and new together and the tug or urban renewal v. history. I'd really like to see the rest of the church, so backing out from the tight crop would have looked a little better.
My Opinion: A nicely seen image, but the technical side needs some work. The good news is that technical aspects are the easiest to remedy. I think that this one scored pretty close to its potential.

Thanks for the views and comments all .. this was my first entry and I should have been focusing on the church instead of the tower - the clouds were pretty light and I wanted to make sure they came out right.
It was a last minute submission and having never done it I didn't know how to resize and make it web viewable better - I just kept dropping jpg quality to make it smaller. Since then I've read EddyG's tutorial on this so I should do better next time

This image has a lot of noise in it, or it has been overprocessed in Photoshop. It is an interesting idea placing the old and new against each other, but the quality of the image isn't working for me. |

Interesting contrast between very old looking and modern! Great choice for the challenge. |

Nice picture, with lots of poteantial, would rate it higher if it were in focus, less noisy (4) |

A little soft and a little grainy. The composition is nice |

This seems a bit blurry and out of focus. Shame as the Trinity Church in Boston by architect Henry Hobson is truly a magnificent piece of architecture ;) |

This is an absolutely fantastic subject and composition- It has an interesting sort of Matrix background that is intriguing. It seems just a pinch OOF or needs a little chapness at least and perhaps some noise reduction. The cross or icon at the top of the building could be brought out a little but it is interesting the way is sorta fades into the background. 7 |

I'm not sure if you've gone for a soft focus intentionally, but I think this would have worked nicely if the focus had been sharper. |

I recognize this, I think. ...Looks like Boston to me.
Nice idea. Seems to have some noise in the glass building. |
