Very Harry Potter but I'm not sure about the use of so much blue. And the tree's in front are a little blown, but I like it anyway.

I agree with HB, the trees are blown out a bit, and maybe back off the blue a bit. It is a cool picture though!!

It's a good shot. I'm not too crazy about the processing. I'd like to see the color version.

love the processing. The composition is very good, but the original is a descriptive photo, nothing out of the ordinary... The processing gives it (at least for me) that little bit of art that makes a photo something else.

regards and keep up the good work ;)

The processing was interesting and artistic, as if you were trying for a moonlit or lightening lit effect. The original shot is great and I felt it might make a nice black and white, so since you had image editing turned on, I adjusted it slightly and converted to B&W if you don't mind. Did I make it better or worse?

I like all three versions, but I think the B&W works best for me.

I too like the b/w version the best. I think it would look even better if some of the dead space on the left side of the frame were cropped out, which would also allow the steeple to be shifted more towards a left thirds line.

I like the first one. It would look terrific on the new metallic photo paper

Love it! The original looks rather boring after viewing your processed version! :)
