Nice subject and composition, but the "processing" of the crosses is really distracting and takes away from an otherwise excellent image.

Wow, I took an exact looking photo of this church last week!

As for your picture, the halos around the two crosses are quite irritating. The ground is a tad too dark and I think the sky isn't very appealing. I like how your picture is taken from a higher vantage point than mine though the road doesn't help the picture.

I quite naturally like the framing ! ;-)

This is one of my favorites in this challenge. I am guessing Iceland maybe?

Beautiful, but I can see the dodginf on the crosses and it makes them pop a bit too much. 7.

If I'm correct that you used some dodge and burn, I'm not sure how well it works for me. I really like the image and can see what you were doing but for my taste I prefer to see it used as an enhancement.

Great shot! Both crosses seem a bit dodged out along with the sky .....9

Horizon feels a little tilted. Wonderful building though, Iceland no doubt... A little over-blurred for my taste.

did you cause the crosses to "glow"? it looks weird

your processing is a little too evident for my tastes.. (and yes, I have photos in my portfolio that are exremely evidently over-processed.. so I'm not saying that you *shouldn't* be doing it.. I just hate seeing it in challenges, personally). Just a suggestion.. you might want to start learning how to layer mask.. it can really make a difference in getting rid of the halos that dodging/burning can cause (or other methods). I don't know of any tutorials off-hand, but do a search up for layer-masking or similar words on google, and start experimenting.. it's fun!
