This might work better in colour. As it stands now the iguanas blend into the rocks too much and the only thing that really stands out is the bird.

Another example of what would be stunningly georgeous in b/w imho . They grey sky is just not pleasing. Good comp though. I would have liked to seen the shot from a lower perspective.

I like how you have the path curve into the right corner drawing your eye into the picture - but I wish the bench wasn't cut off on the left.

I haven't been to this garden (I'm 99% sure I know where it is) since the summer. Its feeling in November is very different, quieter, with all the flowers "sleeping." That's what gives this a meditative quality. I'm not sure I'd call it "sacred" but it's definitely contemplative and emotive, especially with the curving path disappearing into the near horizon.

This is a little painful on the eyes. I think it would be better if the depth of field was set to creat more off-focus at the top.
