Exposure is way too dark and white ballence is too blue. you have a lot of obvious lens distortion (keystoning)

Most likly the lens distortion is the falt of the cam and I don't know a DPC legal fix for this If anyone offers please pass it on. Most cams have an ajustable white ballance. start palying with yours so you have a beter idea what it can do. Also read your manuel and find the Exposure compensation and ISO. this needed to be bosted up. the danger with boosting upexposure comp is hand and camera shake if your in the position of tring to boost exposure make sure you find something to brace on the hood of your car parked in front or in the car braced on the window would have worked if you boost ISO you get grain too much reads as noise. flash on most point and shoots wount light up the secen and will bump doun your exposure comp.

Because of the keystoning I think this is not a good subject for your camera.

Good Luck

Very grand and nice, moody tones. I like the lens distortion here because it makes the church seem slightly unreal--as many sacred things seem.

Using the trees as a frame can be a good element - but they just appear from nowhere for example in the upper left . You've exposed the sky correctly but as a result left the building underexposed - a different time of day with better light seems to be required (2)

Or just about any other church one can see :) It's a lovely church and the angle of the shot is very well done. The lighting leaves much to be desired for me, the darkness towards the bottom would work better if the light was stronger on the top. The tree branches are a bit distracting but you can't make nature co=operate now can we? A 4

Way too dark. The light was all wrong for my eyes. 5

Focus too soft, not enough contrast. Tree on the right is a bit distracting. Not a bad photo though.

Imposing structure. Image seems a bit dark -but in a dusky (or dawn) way, and it is very blue but again that might work for dusk of dawn. Needs to be tilted to the left so the steps are horizontal.

I like the reds and blues of this, but I'm not too crazy about the tilt (see bottom of image). I'd like to see more light on the front center of the church (longer exposure perhaps). Good luck.

building appears to be leaning.. tilting the camera to the left might have helped a bit
