Simple and effective. Well done.

Elegant in it's simplicity, the image, while good, just doesn't quite work as well as it could have. There is a vague sense of this image being unfinished in some way that is unsettling. After a good long look, that unease comes from the very vague detail on the spire - left side which is the back of the spire - just barely discernable against the black background. The eye wants to track that detail and that is not quite possible. A different angle or shooting the subject head on might have been a better choice.

Nice, simple composition. I like the placement of the cross on this line of third. The negative space works really well for this image. The black and white is perfect for this shot. A great submission
