Great contrast, sharpness and texture (rain on glass). This photo has genuine emotion attached to it. Great work

Great portrait of a grunge / goth girl! People don't always need to smile in portraits. It's perhaps not quite as "against the light" as I would have done but well done anyway.

Excellent - I love the patterns and colours. I'm not even totally sure what I am looking at but I don't care!

It's nice to see that someone visited a church but then took a less-typical shot inside. Well done.

Small Church in the Big City

Nice use of the large buildings to frame the church - the contrast is very effective. The building tops have quite a halo to them - is this a gaussian blur or the result of camera shake? It's a little distracting.

Looks like a lovely building but, whilst this shot is different, it's an awkward composition. Do I look at the tree that dominates or the building behind it. Other than that, colour and exposure look great.

Cathedral Ceiling

I like your choice of orientation / perspective - its something quite different for this type of ceiling shot.

Heavenly Garden

Sorry - this looks a like like a case of trying to use a title to make the image fit a challenge. Ignoring that, its a great photo that I'm sure would look good blown up on canvas. You'll suffer for not really meeting the challenge in the eyes of a lot of people though so don't think the score reflects the quality of the photo in general.

The image is great although the border (in my opinion) does nothing to add to the picture and would probably be better left out. The simplicity of colour and shape really make the picture easy to look at and the people give the statue a lovely sense of scale.
