i completely disagree with zhelach and JanD about composition and colors. (and don't understand their critiques, did you guys use copy/paste option? all your critiques are just the same from photo to photo, is there any sense at all?)

sky looks unnatural, you should balance hue values better to wipe out green tones and bring back usual sky blue. this is usual failure of many low-segment cameras, but it's easy to fix.

composition.. your photo is overweight in the left, taking this pillar in a scene was a mistake in my opinion, as well as this man. Usually, it is quite good to include people in the scene, but this man is just on the wrong side, he should be on the right, to balance between white pillar, not to cover part of the church, and we could see him completely, not cut out, which is again wrong in terms of composition.
also, angle isn't the very best, as it provides much space, or feel of it, in the right, and no space at all and kind of mess, in the left. and hides good part of church' apsida.

now looking again on the photo, i think it's not only hue to be fixed, but also you added too much saturation to all channels, that ruined natural feel in the shot (too green grass? sky?)

so that's what I think, and obviously, not generic copypaste USELESS cheap-2-points-to-get-their-cheap-2-points critique. Hope it helps :)
