I would have given you 2 points more if you did not tilt the cathedral

While I can see that you are in a garden of sorts -- the flowers and other landscaping gives that solidity -- I'm not sure this is the best choice for portraying that feeling.The cathedral, as the main focus, dominates the picture so much that you have to search for the gardeny bits, so it doesn't really give a solid connection to the topic.

The picture feels unbalanced to me -- probably because there's a lot of white space at the right that filled with other things at the left. There's something a little odd about the angle, too

I think if you'd taken a solid eye-level shot of this, or even a slightly below eye-level, it might have worked better for me. Something where your flowers and such are still not the main focus but where they become a larger part of the picture.

unfortunatly theres a lot of bad pixelation and compression artifacts on this photo.

nice image but not of the garden

Doesn't really meet the challenge and is poorly cropped and exposed

I see your point, but the branches on the right-hand side are very distracting.

Looks rather pixelated... you might try adjusting your .jpg compression when saving.

Amazing structure. And the gray clouds wafting around add to the atmosphere. I'd never find one of these in gardens here. The only thing I could suggest is to re-center your next shot of this gorgeous landmark, making sure that you get as much of a clear shot to it as possible, and that any unmovable obstacles only take up around 1/3 of the heighth. The large hedge on the left detracts somewhat from the intial eye-catch, but the overall photo is very good.
