I gave you your highest vote, a 9! I really like this shot, guess I didn't speak for everyone.

I gave this a 6. I like the detail and the deep blue sky. Good eye-leading ROT composition. Certainly worth a vote on the positive side of the scale, but it didn't do anything to make me pause on it or say "Wow". I wonder how this would look in b/w?

Your choice of lighting and processing emphasize nicely the massiveness and the delicate details of the church. I like the contrast in the subject and in the photo.

beautiful church...IMO adding a gradient could have helped to richen up your tones just a bit
