Comment by mbardeen:
The tones, the composition, and the shapes really appeal to me in this shot. Great minimalistic, powerful image.The shadow being the only bit of asymmetry works very well.

What I find wonderful here is that the sky so resembles the texture of the church! Nice work! 9

Comment by Gordon:
Nice and dramatic - good abstraction from the building, like the burnt out cross and the light makes some interesting shadows. I think there must be a time of day when the front cross would be shadowed on the rear building and that might make an even stronger image

Comment by moodville:
There is a wonderful feeling of texture in this shot, and I think the black and white and contrasting grays really add to that. The composition is great with very strong lines. The dramatic sky compliments the tone of the building. This is a very classic image.

Comment by kiwiness:
Interesting concept, the perspective you have chosen is also good. Did you climb up a tree or something to get the top of the roof at the same height and level? I find the composition is leaning a little to the right however. If you put a ruler at the bottom of the photo following the horizintal line you'll see what I mean. It is quite minimal actually, but the eyes pick it up quickly.

this picture is, in my opinion, the most classic and archetypical symbol of still life. black and white, intellectual, great lighting, perfect focus. this picture could benefit from a larger resolution and maybe a slightly brighter filter, but i'll give you the 10 for being the only person to take a classic, almost cliched example and breathe it to life.
