Thanks to all who saw, voted, with special thanks to those who commented.
My first challenge, it has given me such a huge buzz you'll never believe it.
Don't you know that centered compositions are against the rules? LOL Great capture. Love the deer wandering across the road. Love the two people walking up the road by the catherdral. Love the small cathedral at the end of the path. I love the fact that the speed voters aren't gonna get to see all those details that add up to an extra point from this much slower voter!

Nice colors. I know the cathedral is small and doesn't take much frame, but it is hard for my eye to see the cathedral as the focus of the shot. Not enough detail. 5
this is a really nice photo on its own but for this challenge it just doesnt seem right to me....what is the subject the building the deer the people in the back...to much to choose from
And could you explain what that link might be?
I see minimum sized subjects not a minimalistic image.
Besides, neither the animals or the cathedral are strong subjects, if tha's where you were going - they don't stand out.
When I look at the picture, all I see is a "straight and narrow path", surrounded by trees - and this is, in my opinion, the main subject, which is not minimalistic at all.
Maybe I'll think differently when I read your explanation...
