    Very cool subject and nice drama in the sky, Michael! Unfortunately, the green cast presents itself as a problem for me. Maybe you could correct it in post? I also feel the flower arrangements (especially the one in the middle) are distractions to the scene and the blacks too clogged up. I understand that you are trying to get the mood by having a dark scene but for some reasons I feel the vignette and the dark trees a little bit on the side of being too dark.

    Hi Michael - Definitely has a bit of horror movie feel to it. Good points by Adhika. If the green cast was your intention, which I suspect it was, then I would at least remove it from the windows of the church. I also think it needs some cw rotation.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Hi, thanks for the comments. The green is actually from the color in the sky, I like that, I agree it may be too dark, and the flowers, yeah, I don't like em

    A very spooky scene that is reminiscent of horror movies indeed...I would crop a small portion off the top.

    Hi Michael

    Great mood captured here, I Like the white cross against the dark BG.. I agree with a crop from the top, maybe brighten the cross just a smidge.. The flowers dont bother me, the green tinge real or not I would prefer not..

    A gloomy image! You received some good suggestions, I agree with Rachel here.
    Could work well as high contrast B&W image too?
