The simplicity of the thumbnail brought me for a closer look. i'm not as eloquent as srbrubaker but will try. The shot is very clean crisp and simple and is apleasure to look at, the clours are just right but I would like a bit more colour/contrast on the main tree. Maybe a 15' stepladder would help with the mountains on the roof and even bring out more of the path? The large grassed foreground leads me nicely to the church framed by the mountains and on to the tower then the tree keeps the tower as the focus point. Nice to see a cloudless sky that looks so nice.

This church is an architectural gem. The subtle lighing almost totally lacking in shadows helps us see all the details. The vast swath of grass and the looming mountains place the church in context. If there were a way to move the mountains away from the roofline of the church, I think this would improve the photo. This could have been done if a much longer lens had been used - or a much shorter one. Of course, we cannot tell whether these changes would have introduced other, more disturbing flaws.

There is a kind of stasis created by placing the church in the center third of the photo top to bottom, but this is counteracted by placing it in the right half of the field.

This is a striking photo; I hope it gets lots of attention.
