:iconcurtp:
My first reaction to this image was "striking". I would classify this as a prime example of wide-angle photography. You clearly have a good idea of how to use and divide space in your compositions. The complementary angles of the structure versus the direction of the clouds add a lot of interest to the photo as well, directing the eye to the subject. In fact, looking closer, there are many lines in this photo (the clouds, the horizon, and the path), that all point to the subject, emphasizing its status as the focal point.

Composition is clearly the high point (and probably the purpose) of this piece, but it is also worth noting that the balance and density of the color is very well-adjusted.

I didn't give this piece high points for originality, simply because the subject matter itself isn't anything especially original. But this is not a weakness. You've presented an obviously photo-worthy scene in a striking way, and it caught my eye even as a little thumbnail.

Overall this is a beautiful image. The sky is perfect, the framing is great. I think this shot could be made even better with a little bit of post processing work. I would start off with a levels adjustment to brighten things up a bit. I would then bump up the contrast a bit to help the image pop. A tiny boost of saturation would really bring out the greens in the grass here as well. Using a warming filter would bring out a bit of sun in the clouds, rather then leaving them with more of a grayish tone. And finally, I would use a levels mask to brighten up the front of the church ever so slightly.

In closing, I feel this is a beautiful image. The scene is just gorgeous and a place I would love to visit. Keep up the good work!

Class shot mate. The Church of the Good Sheppard. I believe your shot is better than mine, and I know how hard it is to get the place without damn tourists!
