Such a grand place. Nice dof - too bad the clouds weren't a little more interesting.

4 - Tweaking of the colors, especially for this Challenge, make this better in my opinion. Like to see the blues/oranges even stronger. Frame detracts, including from likely impact of the subtle natural colors as well, in my opinion. Apologies in advance if wrong, and could just be the perspective, but horizon looks like it needs a nudge up on the left.

great as a postcard! the sky is a little bland and washed out...perhaps a bit of tweaking could have lifted this
