The photo has nice contrast and tonal range. Nice perspective. It has a mysterious feel to it made by the old cathedral style building and the clouds. The only element that I am dissatisfied with the is the distracting tree branch. Other than that, nice photo.

Yeah I still don't know if i like the composition, the tree branch is very distracting

I would like to go back and get a different angle.

Thanks for replying btw

I like the branch and wish there were more of it. Without this element, it's just a looking-up-at-a-building shot, although one with good contrast and tonal range, as pointed out earlier. The branch adds another dimension and feeling to it, at least imo.

Definately more tree/branch, but this is almost exactly what i envision when imagining a 'horror house'

I like the tree branch but like you said, I think using a different angle may work better in this composition.

Cool yeah i was going for the horror look and yeah the tree branch makes it look kinda scary like it was taken in the woods or something.
I took a couple more photos of it but none of the angles I really liked. I Should have gotten lower for this shot i think... I also would love a wider lens

yep, wish there were more branch, but pretty horrific... in a good way, to me. lol.

i think it's a fab photo but I can see what you mean about the branch.... now you've mentioned it but if you hadn't i wouldn't have thought it.

I like the moodiness of this image. My one bit of criticism to add is about the white line around the building. Almost looks like a masking halo or my be due to pushing processing too far. My eye jumps right to the top edge of the biggest spire where the line is most noticeable. I like the tight crop and positive/negative spacial balance. Probably could have been framed so the building took up a little more sky, but definitely works well. Thanks for sharing.
