Lovely quality of line and texture. I like the rhythm of the wall as it echoes the lines in the vase-like object. Interesting abstraction.

This blows the positive away. Excellent work and eye to see this before it was there...

This is a great example of where the negative is a lot more dynamic than the positive. First of all, congrats on the 2nd best score to date.

The inversion has really brought out the textures in the marble (?) of the sculptures. The colours are very bold and contrasting. This all adds together to make a really bold, cool, graphical image.
The thing that distracts here imo is the background - it gives context with the inversion, but detracts from the very graphical style of the photo. I'd like to see a lower angle, so that the trees disappear into the horizon, and are barely noticeable.

Other than that, you've caught it at a good time of day light-wise - I love how the shadows on the righthand faces give the bold, contrasting white outline in negative. Overall, great image, good work, well done etc.
Keep it up, its an honour to critique :)
