I'm very much a beginner when it comes to the photograpy and still have a lot to learn about the basics. This is the first image I have uploaded for comment and would be grateful for any advice on compostion, technical points etc.

technically the exposure is good, nice light on the church, nothing blown out to white, and detail kept in the darker areas of the treees. Compositionally there's a bit too much foliage IMO, I'd crop from the left and a little sliver from the top.
A careful slight boost in contrast and brightness (maybe 10% each) would lift it a bit, but be careful not to cause any areas to burn out to white
Welcome to EPZ, keep the uploads comimg, you'll learn a lot if you want to, and have a good time as well

Nice to see your work starting to appear on EPZ Paddy. Very nice image and like already said this is a fantstic medium for learning. Keep em coming mate. See you on tuesday.

Seems general that the crop I had in mind is shared by others. Any bland areas without any interesting detail is better cropped. I also feel that a lower viewpoint for a bit more foreground would help.
The lighting is fine where you will find that shifting patches of light is better than full sunlight.
