When you select areas to brighten, like tthe shadowed edge of those flowers, two things are really useful: firstly, use increased contrast to hide some of the effect, so that black areas don't become grey, and also the 'feather' control, which fades the edge of the selection and makes it much less of a hard line like that. It lets down what was otherwise a very fine shot, I think - ideal for the challenge.
What's on those trees? The top of this picture is cropped in a rather strange spot (just shy of the top of this building), but other than that (and the tree mystery) I like this shot and could picture it in a travel guide.
It's a nice photo, the shadows are a little dark and the reds in the flowers are somewhat blown out - a problem with the DR of digital I suppose. I think it's cropped a little tight on top.
Nice picture, except for two things: the part of the building touching the top of the frame, and the over-saturated colors. The blur in the trees on the right also looks a bit strange, looks like you did some editing in the sky.
But apart from that, that's exactly the picture I would expect on the hotel's website or in a promo folder.
