Inspired by jumpinjimmyjava - and soooo much to learn

I can see that inspiration coming through. The texture is cool. I suspect JJJ's image would have been much darker

Yea, 3J dwells on the dark side ... but thanks. It is kinda tough finding the right textures for images, and making them meaningful. Jumpinjimmyjava has this mastered, and I am just a wee apprentice ....

I like it. did you try fading the texture a bit and boosting the contrast of the church steeple?

Every artist has their own vision, and in spite of your homage to JJJ, I can appreciate what you were after here. I love the lines (parallel to the frame on the left and then opening out to the right) and the texture adds to the mood. I keep seeing ghost-like figures in the steeple, sort of overshadowing each other on two sides, actually four sides. Almost but not exactly symmetrical composition. Also, black and white was a good choice to enhance the eerie effect.

The texture has an interesting effect on the shaded area in the belfry. It reminds me of paper snowflakes.
