 A historic stone church actually being restored and converted into an office building; the pile of rubble and ominous sky gave it an interesting look (to me, anyway)...so I climbed a nearby hill and started taking pictures; this was my favorite...levels, curves, desaturate, hue/saturation, brightness/contrast,usm, cropped.

What I liked: Creative thought.

What might improve the image, IMO: The composition of the image may benefit from being less centered as far as the horizon of the image is concerned

NOTE: I'm trying this system of giving comments on all images I vote on, my score of the photo, and what I did and did not like. Please, I'd like feedback on whether or not this is helpful, so feel free to give me a PM with any feedback - positive and negative are welcome. Also, my profile has more about what all of the terms in my grading system mean to me.

I love 'the past' and don't consider that burying it is by any means a form of progress. However, I like your photo and it caught my eye.

A little weak in the challenge tie-in, but an interesting shot.

Nice artistic photo. I like the deep contrast...gives it dramatism.

Nice shot and concept, but the lack of contrast between the rubble pile and the church sort of takes away from the effect.

The pile of rubble obscures the church a bit much I think. I realise this may have been your point but I feel it hides too much of the church
