° Deepened the blues of the sky by altering the lightness in
'Hue/saturation/lightness'.
° Some dodging on the water and the church.
° Some manual bluring on the tree around the sun.
° High pass sharpening :

Excellent composition. I can say that you've used all kind of technics here: composition, enhanced colors, perfect light, etc. Congrats. The beauty of the building became "less important", I can say.
