Fly away!

The little church stood proud against the big sky while that lone bird

flew by.Thank you for your comment-Laurent

Nice composition, however the image itself is slightly under exposed though this is very easily corrected in post processing.

The perspective of the church is completely off. It looks as if its about to fall down. This occurs when you use wide angle lens with objects which have straight edges.

Again this can be corrected with Photoshop or Lightroom.

I agree with Mark.  And, my usual peeve, the polarized dark hole in the sky is horrendously unnatural.  You have many good images, and I think that future ones-- especially ultra-wide with polarizer-- could be better if you could control your urge to max out!  Regards, Jeff  

Glad this caught your eye and I thank you for the observation.Of course you are right on all counts but how this turned out is not unwanted.I lean towards a under exposed look in a lot/most of my images and I guess this boils down to a matter of taste.As for the lean on the church,I fully realize the pull of a WA lense especially when pointed at a tall subject,more so when it is located at the edge of the frame as here;I realize this can be distracting or downright irritating to some but I like it particularly when exagerated as here leaving no doubt that it is a product of lense distortion.....but again here,it is a matter of taste.

Merci et meilleures salutations-Laurent

Thank you for looking in and for the kind observation.Had you not brought it up,I think I might have pointed this additional matter of banding to Mark above but despite my position on this,I sometimes pull back....a bit on my''urge to max out'' as you already suggested.

Always good to hear from you.

Meilleures salutations-Laurent
