Good strong composition and a fantastically blue sky. I really like the mist blowing off the waterfall.

I think this has worked really well in black and white. The composition is good and I love the sky.

Another great shot - I like the sense of movement in both the train and the girl.

I love shots like this with the stark lighting and strong shadows. Personally I don't think the vegetation on the left hand side really adds anything to the shot but this is a great shot nonetheless.

Fantastic colours though I feel that your other shot was better compositionaly.

Fantastic sky, Vlad. I always like shots where the foreground is illuminated by warm light against a dark sky. It would, however, be nice to have got a little bit more detail in the buildings. These are a little too bright and would benefit from a little bit less exposure.

Hi Sharon

I like this photo. I think it lends itself well to black and white.

Compositionally, however, it feels like the left hand side of the waterfall has been cut off in the lower part of the photo. Also I would have been inclined to tone down the highlights to bring out a little bit more detail in the water streams.

Hi Yuri,

I think this is a great photo. I like the balance of the composition and the perspective looking up is very well suited to the symmetry of the figures. The statues are a little dark though. I've made some small changes in a workshop. Let me know what you think.

Hi Ben,

I like the composition here. The movement of the train is very effective and the solitary figure conveys the impression of late night.

Only thing I might have done differently would be to step forward slightly to get rid of the metal plate on the floor. The rest of the floor is pretty clean and uniform and I think this one bit detracts from the rest of the composition.

Hi Ben,

I like the light here and the deep blue of the sky. The composition is good and the water movement appealing. One comment I would make is that the horizon looks to me to be tilted about 1 degree to the left. Whether or not this is a good or bad thing is pretty subjective. Part of me thinks the tilt helps add a sense of motion as the river curls more but part of me prefers it straight. Personally I would be inclined to rotate the picture about 1 degree right but it's a good shot either way.
