I like the way all the angles seem to point towards the bell.

The Grays feel a bit flat, maybe not enought contrast?

Not a movie poster.

Cute pup! There seems to be an overall red tint in the photo and I would also suggest showing a little more of the main character's eyes.

Pretty funny title and a well matched image, but when push comes to shove this really doesn't communicate 'movie' on any level.

Given where you were coming from, you could have made it even darker and diablolical - ramped the theme up and called it Diabolical Puppy Crusher! A video nasty to be sure!

Nice HDR effect. The church is not very hidden, but I like the idea. Bumping up.

GREAT shot but no title and not sure how it's a hidden treasure? 6

Argh. I typed a long comment in here just to have dpchallenge glitch on me and lose it all. Well, I'll try to recreate my comments. :-)

I'm not sure I see this as a "hidden treasure" The hidden part of it just isn't there for me. It must be a gem of a place to photograph, though. I think I would have preferred the sharpest focus to be on the church, rather than the fence. Overall the lighting seems a bit drab to me. I think some brightness/contrast work might have helped this pop a bit more. Also, I'm not sure what caused it... (usually I associate it with hdr), but there is a slight halo around the church and the tree. Was that from post processing? Overall, I like the angle, but I would definitely go back and try to catch it with some more dramatic lighting. 5

Intriguing composition. The glow around the trees and the building is a little distracting, but still a pleasing image.
