Hi John,
wonderful picture with those reflections. Did you use a polariser?

Hi Tom,

great capture of the ruin. Good sharpness though it's a bit soft at the bottom. Maybe cutting off anything below the roots might have improved. Nevertheless, it's an outstanding picture. tfs, Heike

Hi Nancy,
very vivid colours and interesting POV. I like the DOF and the idea. Good sharpness.

Hi Alper,
it's me again.. :-)))

I appreciate your idea of capturing deserted playgrounds with the intention of picturing the Cat Stevens song. But again I have to say that in my opinion the colours are much too bright, HDR or not. More than that, the image is overexposed and lopsided to the left. As I knoe that that you like the colours that way, I only tried to rotate the picture for a workshop, but unfortunately the seats of the see saw were cut off then. Maybe your original leaves space opportunities to correct this.
Sharpness and idea are good, though.

kind regards, Heike

Hi Pedro, I liked the idea of your photo but I think that the framing is not that good. The car in the foreground distracts the view, I believe. and it seems as if the photo is a bit lopsided. If I were you, I would crop the picture a little. I did a little workshop on it to let you see what I mean. I hope you don't mind me playing around with your photo. Let me know if you like it or not, please.
kind regards, Heike

Hi Hillary,
wonderful capture of that basilica. Light, contrasts and sharpness is good and the misty background puts emphasize on the tower. tfs, HEike

Hi Joshy,
yes, this is exactly how I remember scotch summers...many rain clouds though the sun was shining. You captured well the shadows on the mountain meadows. tfs, Heike
