It sure is detailed, but not too busy, due to proper use of color. The only distracting thing is the deep blue sky. I'd like to see this shot on an overcast day.

Comment by kmtolk:
For those who asked about where the picture was taken:
The church is St. Stephen's Cathedral, which was started in the 12th century and finished in the 18th century. It's considered the centerpiece of Vienna. The roof is new, since the old one was destroyed during WW II. Many Viennese are fighting the encroachment of new architecture into the area, and they managed to force the remodelling of the new building in the foreground. (It used to look even more modernistic.)

I'd like to thank everyone for your comments. I'm going to play a bit with your cropping suggestions and the levels and contrast settings in Photoshop to try to improve it a bit. I'm also going to see if I can do something about the sharpness of the cathedral, since I selectively focussed on it and the fuzziness came in the resizing and jpeg compression stages of preparing it for submission. (I couldn't do much about the lighting, since this was the only day of the week that I could get there when it wasn't raining.)

Comment by Mousie:
nice juxtaposition, that is one zany looking cathedral! the colors seem a bit flat to me, I might like it more if it were taken at a different time of day with better, more contrasty lighting

Very cool idea for transitions. The church seems slightly out of focus, though.
