I took Ann's advice and took a bit off the top of the photo, but didn't
make the post Jewish.
But it did make it Reformed.

constructive criticism always appreciated.
Constructive Criticism:
1. You did well by using a shallow dof. That helped.
Interesting that the responses had one that liked the shallow dof, and
another that didn't. My goal was to separate the post from the trees in
the background, it wasn't until I was processing it that I realized how
much of that I could do by frobbing the curves controls. If I were to
retake it, I'd probably go for a bit more dof, and be glad that the
aperture is listed in the exif data.
2. The colors contrast is good.
thanks
3. The perspective bothers me. Tilt you back bottom in just a bit ...
4. Did you also try a horizontal as well? I'd like to see the
differences.
Unfortunately, as I've mentioned, I've been trying to be a lot more
conservative with my shutter actuations. I only took three attempts at
this, though two were bracketed because of the high contrast between the
light and the dark. So I don't have a horizontal, and this is the one
with the most difference in perspective, but I think it's in the opposite
direction of what you want.

The point of focus is slightly different on this one, though they are both
at f/7.1, it may still appeal more to Jack because more of the lit area is
in focus.
