The image suffers from lack of dynamic range. In a scene with so much contrast between light and shadow, it's best to set the camera (on a tripod of course) to use automatic bracketing - 3, 5 or 7 images at different stops - and blend those in LR or PS. Then straighten the verticals, lighten the shadows a bit if necessary and darken the highlights - look at the histogram to be sure it's well balanced. I think the composition could have been improved by backing up and getting more of the side of the church in view; that would be more interesting than the non-descript building and power pole on the right. You also had either a dirty lens or sensor spots - see the dots in the sky? Those are easy to remove during post, but even easier to avoid by cleaning the lens first!
