*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*

An appealing image that vaguely meets the challenge.

I feel a little undecided about this one whether I like it or not. There are elements of the composition I like, the shape of the red door with the ivy growing round it against the modern brick wall in front which I am not so keen on, I find the railings ugly and distracting. In fact, as it is, it only the shape of the door that gives a faint implication that this is a church at all, don't get me wrong, that is not a criticism, I quite like it for that.

I am wondering what a composition raised above the level of the railings including the roof which presumably has a cross or some sort of adornment would have looked like. I think in terms of the challenge, it would have come across much more clearly that it is a church. The red of the doors is very appealing and adds a lot to the image.

Apologies for the delay in this critique, thanks for your entry, Sid

Interesting blend of colors, shapes and patterns here. Attractive composition.

Striking contract between the door and the white wall which I like.
