Yinka,

 

Generally architectural shots show the 'floor' or 'ground' as level with the horizon and everything else perpendicular to that.

 

Accordingly, this photo needs to be 'rotated' using 'arbitrary rotate' or a similar rotation in an image editing program, or a similar function that 'rotates' the image (but results in 'waste' at the edges that must be 'trimmed'.

 

The best solution is to make sure your camera is straight up and down (perpendicular to the earth) when shooting photos such as this.

 

Also, this photo has a bad color cast -- it needs adjustment of its color to match that which the eye perceives -- it is all 'yellow/orange' and that is not what churches look like in real life. You need to learn to 'balance' or 'adjust' your color to overcome that. After more than one or two such images, your audience will quickly tire of 'yellow/orange images' -- best to learn to 'white balance' your camera or if film to learn to use filters or use 'white balance' in scanning film, or 'color adjustment' if scanning a print.

 

I hope this helps; it's honest and I have tried to be fair. I have not rated.

 

All the best.

I probably would grow weary of a lot of photos with this same cast but I find it to be refreshing and unusual for a one time experience. A sidepoint - several people pointed out to me a few months ago that it is best to resize images so that they fit on the viewer's screen without having to scroll. I've found that 580 pixels on the long edge for a portrait oriented image (like this) and 800 pixels for a landscape image work pretty good in this respect. Whatever, I enjoy the photo and it certainly got my attention.
