Wow, finally a comment that I can make to you without any politics involved :).
I'm not really seeing a ton of the "leaning" that a lot of commenters are talking about. I see a little but it isn't a big problem here. One thing I did notice right away is how hot the exposure is on the church. This could be a result of a few things. The shadow cast on the church could have tricked the camera into using a slower shutter than it should have, or maybe you decided to boost the contrast to bring out the shadow on the front some more. I'm not sure. I dont' think it's terribly important. One suggestion I have is to try maybe turning this into a tritone or quadtone image and using the shadows to your advantage in that area. Shadows are cooler in b&w. It's a calendar worthy subject, in need of some minor tweaking. Hope this helps a little. Take care rant buddy.
Ideal shot for a calendar. I like the shadows on the clean white building. I might have made the frame larger to the left and right with a considerably more clear sky above the steeple to give it space to "extend heavenward." Perhaps the bright white has over-exposed a little also?
