I don't think it's too much at all. It is nice. The lighting doesn't match but thats ok. This could stand an hdr conversion.

hdr conversion?

I guess this isn't really a good image for that process. I was just thinking it would be because of the darkened face of the church. I instead adjusted the shadow/highlights in ps.

I've got to learn to mess with the levels in photoshop ( I have 7). Every time I tried on this photo, the bird was too washed out. I was very intimitaded by this program, but am learing to love it.

I like the picture a lot, and I think the bird really makes it interesting. With the lighting it looks as if you had used fill flash, rather strongly and from the left. Or maybe it was a reflected light beam from a window pane?
 You shouldn't have told us about the fake, now we will double check every picture you post... Colin, your pp is very good. Although I liked the sky dark as it was in the original, maybe one could brighten up only the church?

I never really looked at the fact the sky lightened up. oops, my bad.:/ Easily adjusted.
As far as fill flash goes, I really don't think it would have helped in this situation unless it was some incredibly powerful studio lighting.

I don't think it looks too fake - but then I fake photos all the time, so...
