Hi Tim, Overall I liked this photo. I like old places and old things, and the photo reminded me of many places I've visited. So, it got me on an emotional level.
Technically it can use some improvement. A little more contrast in the building and foreground improved the pic on my monitor. The contrast of the sky was not increased. The gravestone in the foreground looked a little dark, and brightening it added some dimension and depth to the photo, and, to some degree, provided a stronger focal point. Taking a bit off the top, and reducing the amount of sky in the photo, seemed to strengthen the image as well. The large expanse of bright sky competes with the rest of the photo and draws the eye away from the main subject area.
