Bloody HDR has a lot to answer for, Cody. Ditch it and concentrate on some mood lighting. Nothing like a few dark shadows to stir the witch's brew. Technically, there's a few things here that might help. Clean your sensor for a start. I have a feeling the verticals might work better if they were vertical. Get a bit more contrast across the image with a bit of a twig with the curves adjustment layer and get that sky working for you with a bit of gloomy detail. Churches can be such miserable places. Get that right and you are on a winner.

Cody,
I'm a sucker for the Sienna light on the left side of the picture. Was it there, that great color, or you juiced it up?
As for dust bunnies, what on earth are you doing shooting with an aperture smaller than 5.6, LOL. that way who cares about dust! Also given the tiny senseless, you won't get hit by diffraction issues.
for architectural shots I would try to have the structure orthogonal by using photoshop perspective correction or else, if you are fortunate, use a tilt shift.Actually, a used speed Graphic 4x5 film camera for $150 has tilt shift and swing and a lens to boot! They can load your film in a processing lab!

So, Cody, looking now at your dark picture, I see I've been fooled! That wonderful golden light was just the witches brew HDR remnants of an incandescent light illuminating the wall at night? Now why on earth would they light just one tiny portion of the architecture???

I don't know why they only lit that area of the church, I can only assume they lit it for the door way.
As far as the vertical correction, I corrected it to the right side of the bell tower, I should of done a horizontal correction as well, but didn't like how it looked.
