Greetings from the Critique Club
Initial thoughts/My opinion
This image speaks of symmetry and pleasant warm colours. The bright central light disturbs a bit though.
Content/Composition
You captured beautiful, calm scenery with the two church doors. One could imagine how prayers are singing behind the doors and one smells the candles.
Your symmetric composition works well, although you should have moved further to the right to get the image fully symmetrical. As one can see from the line on pedestrian walk you were a bit off and thus the scene is twisted, most visibly at the top. This results in a somewhat odd feeling. As far as I know humans are extremely sensitive to distortions of a 2-fold vertical symmetry.
I do like that one sees some snow at the bottom and how the bright, central light shines on the walk. This light is of course way overexposed and disturbs a little. However, this is fortunately very localized and didn't blow out the whole scene.
Camera work -technically
Looks good to me: focus and exposure are just right
Digital Processing - Technical
Also OK, maybe just a bit more sharpening. That you didn't add a border was wise.
Fits the challenge
Yes, it does for sure.
Good luck for your upcoming submissions |

| This is so pretty! Beautiful lighting and the picture is so crisp. The only thing is it seems a little tilted or uneven or something. Can't quite put my finger on it. I really like the light coming through the windows from the inside but the glare from the left window is a little distracting. Overall though, a very nice picture. |

| It's too bad the light in the center was so bright (not your fault of course) because it tends to draw the focus there and away from the doors. |

Very nice capture! Good composition. There is something a bit odd about the perspective though. Can't put my finger on it. Wish I knew what camera you had...

| should have rotated CCW just a bit, so it wasn't tilted. |

| Very pretty. Nice and clean night shot. It looks tiny bit crooked at the top (it leans towards the right). And my eyes are drawn to the centre hot spot. Still think it's very nice shot. |

| Nice symmetry. It works well here. This image has a pleasant balance and tone to it. You might consider cropping it just a tad closer. |
