A very nice idea and I really like the lit cross on the left but the tower with the three lights on the right is very distracting. Maybe a different angle and/or different crop? Also there is a bit of noise in this shot and it too is distracting. A 5

Nice photo of Orion as well.

sky is grainy and light behind the cross is too bright, makes me think a lower ISO may have worked better

Nice capture of Orion. It can be difficult to get stars in even long exposures. I would be interested in the camera settings.

Shame you couldn't get the whole of orion into the shot. Well exposed given the range though.

I like to see Orion leaning into the picture at the top - but it doesn't balance the heavy brighness of the window - I wish it weren't so far to the left. The picture is very grainy? what ISO? Couldn't you use a long exposure and a tripod?

nice juxtapositions and contrasts here: the neon lighting and the stars of Orion, the natural beauty of the starlight and tree versus the brick building, the spire at the center and the cross at the left. I think moving the composition a little to the left so the cross is at the 1/3 mark might help, but losing the Orion's belt stars wouldn't be worth it.

Good capture with Orion in the background... I like the purple and orange lighting you've caught.

I like the fact that this is non-traditional lighting. So many church pictures in this challenge, this stands out. I like Orion's belt there too! Good luck.

The shot is a bit dark, but I allow for different monitors so saved it and looked at it lighter. I don't particularly care for the bright white lighting. It's just too bright and too much of a contrast to the over all shot. I realize there is nothing you could of done about the light, but maybe taken this from a different perspective.

Nice shot. I like the steeple and Orion in background too.

Too much dark relative to the light for my taste.
