This image comes together so well with all the different components ... flowers are beautiful, the tree branches make a natural frame, and of the course outstanding architecture - complete with sunburst. Nice placement in a crazy challenge.

I came back to change my vote on this one, I really love it. I would not have like it near as much without the flowers in the forground. Very Nice

The lighting is too harsh perhaps later in the day or early morning would have been better.

Nice framing and color. I think it could use more contrast, though. Maybe try a lower sensitivity setting so you get deeper shadows without loosing the light in the upper left.

My rule of thumb for arcitectural shots like this, where perspective throws the lines out of parallel, is to make the leading edge vertical. This looks skew-wiff. Straightforward interpretation nicely composed together with the garden elements. Looks on the bright side of holiness :)

I love the way you framed the temple with the trees and flowers making for an interesting story not just another picture of a church. Beautiful.

Great DOF here. Detail really works the viewers attention throughout the shot. I like the sun burst through the trees as well. Great representation of one of the most beautiful buildings and places in Salt Lake City.

More Temple, less tree. Flowers add a nice touch. CTR

Could be a ribbon shot if the sun was in a different position. Still a pretty good one. 7

Very nice framing of the temple. I like how the sun makes a star through the trees. Seems a little too contrasty though.

This is nice. I like the composition of it. It just seems a bit flat. A slight contrast boost could help.

Excellent use of the foliage to frame the church, well done!
