What sets this off for me is the inner glow in the windows. It has an appropriate spiritual mood to it.
Also the blue sky is nice plus. A good find and well composed.

Very nice. I really nlike the tones and color. The whites have a nice glow, and I really like the light in the windows.

I gotta go here with a 4x5!

I wholeheartedly concur with the prior critiques.

But, I would like to point out the slight convergence due to the upward angle of the lens. While it's not particularly noticeable in the building itself, the belfry does look as if it's leaning. Lacking a view camera with rise and fall movements or a tilt-shift lens, the convergence can be corrected in post-processing.
