Sam this is a marvellous shot. All the elements are perfect. Composition, use of black and white, shadow and light all spot on. A real cracker.

Great composition and perfect B&W. I like your POV here, perfect for a religious building.. And tree gets richer to your composition. Thanks Sam..

Oooo! Very moody. I particularely like the high contrast between the dark brooding sky and the white pure looking church. Innocence in a world of impurity is the feeling that I get from this photo. The tree branches add to the balance out the church. Great photo.

I like this POV, it is great... the sky too... Makes me think of an Ed Wood film ;))

Beautiful architectural picture,Sam! The pov is very interesting! Wonderful light! Very well composed! Bravo! Michel

Hi Sam,
I missed this one. Could be from an old suspense film; nice skylook at night with soft light and thin shadows; good mood in here. The PP is effective.
