Hi greetings from the Critique Club.

Interesting choice here, not a typique 'holy reverent' sort of feel, more dark and mysterious, like maybe the local anarchist or KKK, come here after hours. In that sense not sure how much it 'fits' challenge.
But I do think it is emotive shot, I think the tones are good and the lighting is nice, I like the prescence of the moon and in my opinion it probably makes the shot, that along with the missing boards on the church.
I see a couple tiny white flecks in the sky, not sure if it is e or the shot, I think they should get cloned out.

Good creative take on subject.
Nicely done

I love this one! Looks like it ought to be hanging in one of those huge matted frames in Starbucks :)

Great layout on this one. B&W traetment works very well as well as the light grain. Good shot. Bumping up.

Having a cup right now as I vote. Black and white was a very good choice for this image. You did just enough of everything.

Wow! well done. You avoid over exposure on the whites but retained detail. The comp is excellent and I love all things caffienated. Slight oveverexposure on the coffe pot (left side) but only a minor distraction.9

This meets the challenge - inanimate and arranged. It's a fair shot, but essentially of a them and/or thing, rather than of a composition. 5
