This is the Church of the Redeemer. Built in 1922. Tomorrow is the last service this old church will hold. It is due to be torn down because cost to restore it are in the 7mil range.

I have four edits and would like some feedback. Please tell me which one and why. Or just general CC.

Thanks in advance.
Rob

I like the first one because it leaves the subdued color of the grass as a nice finish.

I am torn between 3&4. You gave me too many choices :) Each could stand on it's own but because of the age of the building I like the B/W and sepia tone best.

I'm torn between 1 and 4 I like the contrast of colors in #1 but the sepia tone in #4 works for me as well

#3 or #4 for me. Grass in #1 and darkness in #2 don't work for me. I like #6 more than #5.

I like the contrast of the green grass and the run down state of this majestic old building in #1.
