Nice ideas, but the image is very grainy maybe a different resolution could solve this issue.

I get the idea here, and I'm all for thinking outside the box, but...

I feel like this challenge called for a certain reverence, which this photo does not give to the topic.

Technically it is a really nice shot, but it relies on the title to be linked to the challenge... photos that speak for themselves are always stronger than those that rely on the title. I do like the conversion to B&W, but the link to the challenge is tenious, at best.

DMC despite the title - saying it don't make it so.

I don't think this fits the challenge at all. Your title says garden but all we see is a macro of a flower. Photo itself is grainy, fuzzy and the lighting is flat.

Nice Macro...not quite sure how it qualifies as a Holy Place though.

A bit of a stretch as a Holy Place, in my view.

Nice picture, but I don't see this as a holy place.

Well, this is tough. It's too close up for us to get a sense of the garden, which is supposed to be the subject (it's a heavenly garden, not a heavenly flower). The image looks a bit noisy, but not a big deal. The composition is nice with the offcentered focus. The conversion to B&W is fairly well done. In the end, I'm gonna have to DNMC this one with a 3.

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.
