Night time slow shutter speed church

[Daniel765]

Through the glass windows of the church you can see the back-lit cross I thought it look interesting it is slightly off center from the angle I took the photo from. Any thoughts about composition or how it could be improved? Cropping? OK to re-edit and repost my shots on DPS. Link below to original image

The lit cross in the church is indeed interesting. But all those other lights are super distracting. The street light is a big distraction as well
You might have to crop it down even further to get rid of it

It's a great subject. I agree that the street elements take away from the interest of the church. I wonder what this would look like if you crossed the street, then took a wider view from the sidewalk? Also,, overall it seems a little dark.

I will try for another shot tonight if I can. I'll try crossing the street this time. Thanks for the comments EOBeav
