Maybe it's my monitor but I see no detail in the foreground subject. It's just silhouette. Doesn't meet challenge.

Building came out as a silhouette. Nice shot.

I'm glad the title tells me what this is because it's so dark, I had to set my monitor to max brightness to see it. The clouds are beautiful, but the backlighting doesn't really enhance the subject (the building, according to the title).

This seems like 2 pictures, with the foreground disconnected from the remainder. I think this is partly because the lower 3rd line runs almost exactly along that straight line parapet across your picture and also because the building and sky are so much brighter than the foreground portions. I think if I'd taken this picture I'd have lowered my POV some and tried to take in some more of the grass in the foreground and less of the sky. This would have put the lower 1/3 line as the far bank with the couples heads breaking through it to join the features together. That would also make the top 1/3 dome and sky instead of just sky so there isn't that huge expanse of white.

I think the human element really adds to this photo. Good luck on the challenge!

I like the cloud effect. I think a flash that would illuminate the church would make this picture more effective(without disturbing the cloud effect). Also, next time crop out the branches, they're kind of distracting. Good luck though, fits challenge!

the subject must not become a silhouette because of the backlighting.

Comment by e301:
The balance of this is upset a touch by the figures' closeness to the frame and the space above the monument. I feel that I'm being lead to expect something in the sky there, and I don't find it - not even visual interest in the sky. Good overall idea though, for this challenge. Light is a touch bland - contrast could have been pushed further without harming things?

Comment by Artyste:
I really like the cropping and POV on this photo, and having the couple in the foreground really helps sell it for the theme.
I find it a tad dark and perhaps a little flat, but a really nice shot. Good job.
