When you indicated to me that you had used a tripod for this photo, there is one additional step you can take to help eliminate the issue of camera shake... Use the camera's self timer to make the photo rather than pressing the shutter button. This will eliminate any vibration in the camera that you could produce by touching it... just an extra thought.

Out of focus.. because, to me, it looks like you were taking this hand-held with too long a shutter speed, or, if you were using a tripod, it was very windy.

The light on the center of the church is also far over-exposed, and it hurts the rest of the shot. Change these two elements, and you have a much nicer photograph.

Not a bad subject, the exposure is pretty good but it's just a bit too blurry to rate a very high score.

Very OOF, other than that I would have placed the tower off center with possibly some negative space to the left of the church.

Looks like some camera shake? Maybe a tripod would help.

watch the camera movements. it can be tricky on long-exposure shots.

Why even show this to anyone? It is inferior by any and all counts.

wow, what a gorgeous building! so white and smooth. big sharp corners... as you are no doubt aware, the shot has evidentally suffered from camera shake. probably not evident from the lcd, right? way around this is to rest your camera on any flat surface close to hand and use the built-in timer. will give you a far sharper shot. recommend buying a little 5 inch tripod that is less than 20 bucks and is incredibly useful - get from any camera shop. this shot certainly has tonnes of promise. keep at it!

It is a bit blurry i am afraid. I would also like to see the clouds on the right disappear. THe lighitng is nice for the most part, but a little bright in the direct center, mid way up. good luck

Some problems here with vertical alignment, blown whites and blurriness.
