Hello from the critique club

An interesting image that meets the challenge

What a lovely building, an imposing architectural example with a Victorian influence. I like your composition, the beautiful round tower dominates which makes the rest of the angles much more interesting. What I am less keen on is the saturation of the blues, the sky is far too saturated, its overpowering the building itself which is quite some feat as red is normally so dominant in itself. There is also a blue cast through the whites, they should be a nice crisp white contrast and again with the yellow flowers they are veering towards greens. A decent attempt but the blues definitely needs subduing.
