Thank you for the shot

Here is my attempt

I like it in colour because they are all pastel and there are not so many different colour (brown, green, gray, yellow). This way, it reveal the peacefulness of the place.

For me, the end of the Sanctuary sign miss a little sharpness. Could you have taken this shot at 1/125s and f/11 instead of 1/500s and f/5.6 ? This would have increased the depth of field and maybe add more sharpness to the sign.

My biggest difficulty has been with navigating the waters between what is visually pleasing to my eye (but clipped in shadows) and that which has less visual impact (but is technically superior).

I think you should go for what please you.

I don’t think you can oppose what is visually pleasing for you and what is technically superior. For me, there is no universal way of developing a photography. Play raw threads are a good example of the variety of way to treat a photo. None of them are better than other. Some will attract you more than other but that doesn’t mean others are bad.
