Default A Little Church

I took this shot at the little church on Moffett field near Mountain View, CA. I like it, but it seems like something is not quite right, but I can't put my finger on it. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

The gutter's not straight. I say crop it out, leaving just enough dark under the last shingles to let us know that it ends there.

Try it in black and white.

I think the colors look great!

As mentioned, the gutter isn't straight. May be a good idea to crop.

Other than that, the only thing that might make it look "not quite right" is that the roofline runs just about half-way up the image. Maybe you could try cropping either the top or the bottom to get it nearer a third.
