Really wonky photo! Since it is also obviously cropped - there is no excuse for that!

Midday light is just too harsh here.

Greek Orthodox Church in Santorini

This feels tightly cropped (it is losing detail), and accordingly there is no excuse for not getting it straight! Nice light so a shame that the final presentation is not as slick as it could be.

Up to the Minaret

I like this compposition but I wonder if yoou could give it a bit more punch in post processing? Try adding a new "channel mixer" layer, tick the "monochrome" box, move the sliders (try pushing the blues very dark) to get a different contrast - and then set the channel mixer layer to "luminance". You'll get a really punchy look that I think would really suit this image.

I like the image but it does not shout "church" to me.

...the 'not-so-inviting' back door...

The back door, in the shade, with all colour gone. It's not inviting me to score highly...

Mary, Queen of Peace Church

Hard to make breeze bllocks interesting and I'm afraid that this does little for me. Time of day looks a bit middayish - not a flattering light. Colours are washed out and there is not much by way of story to hold interest for long.

Local contrast is way too high - gives an overprocessed look.

I get no sense of "church" from this.

The Church is Closed

Comment:
Closed in this case is also uninteresting - not pretty or weathered or anything - just a closed church.
