I like the way you exposed this one, showing lots of details in that church. Good contrast with the dark sky. The bird is a nice touch as well.

The inclusion of the "dark bird" makes this work very well. The Vignetting is a bit OTT as it has also darkened the bottom corners of the building which looks odd. Still a 7.

The relative darkness of this coupled with the silhouetted bird in flight takes this from a ho-hum, flat travel snapshot to something much more. Good work.

Smash it, smash it!

Nice lighting. I'm even okay with the shadowing under the eyes, because it toughens him up and makes you wonder if he's got a black eye. Obviously he doesn't, but for this challenge it works. Ideally, it would have been nice to not have the tiny guitar covering his other eye, but that's kids for ya. You've also got a nice halo to separate him from the background caused by your background light.

Great b&w processing and the bird is excellent.

I don't know what it means, but I'll just assume it is the fear of getting tangled up in Gandalf's beard. ;-)
