Very nice.
Nice light, and you've composed nicely to accentuate it. The horizon line
through the middle gives a quiet picture, appropriate for a graveyard. :-)
There's something bright in the grass on the right-hand edge, and a few bits
of telephone pole above it. Some combination of slight cropping, cloning or
burning? Don't crop much - I like the space you've left between the church
and the edge. (Actually, having just tried it, maybe you shouldn't crop.)

Bright and cheerful isn't how I'd describe it, but quiet and golden, just
right for early morning or late afternoon. The foreground shadows are
darkish, but that keeps attention on the church.
This monitor may be darkish: on sites that put up test strips the darkest
two or three usually block up. I tried using the standard controls (OS9) but
haven't managed to fix this yet.
