A picture with some potential, but a little bland - I hope you like the alternative in the workshop!

I love the graphic image that this picture conveys, but perhaps it could do with being sharpened a little?

Overall, this photo shows lots of fine detail on a very small subject, which I like. On the other hand, it's a huge shame that part of the body and the back legs have been lopped off! (This is easily done, of course, as just camera shake can cause it to happen. Personally, when taking insect/arachnid macro photos, I usually try to take 5 or 6 shots to make sure that this doesn't happen - or that the bug in question doesn't move at just the wrong moment!). Good effort, keep it up!

Hi Atif, I like the picture and the beautiful location, but have taken the liberty of creating a more 'dreamy' version for you in a workshop, which also picks out more gateway detail.

Although it's an unusual scene (and therefore interesting), otherwise I'm afraid this picture leaves me cold. Perhaps shooting it in portrait format (or cropping) to emphasise how high off the ground these guys are would have helped?

I like the fact that despite all the empty desert, no parking is allowed...

An interesting picture, and certainly an unusual view of a monastery, but to be honest (and having been to Karakalou!) I don't think you're doing the subject justice - it's a beautiful building in a fantastic setting, which unfortunately doesn't really come across here. On the other hand, I *DO* like the trapezoid shape that the water forms!

Absolutely love this picture, far and away your best to date. You've balanced the amount of sky and land very nicely (I still think that you have a tendency to include too much sky in some of your shots... but here it's perfect).
Definitely the sort of thing you should be trying to sell to the poster companies IMHO!

Excellent picture capturing the real spirit of "great men on little horses"... I particularly like the cropping, and the fact that no dust obscures the lead horse. THIS is a picture that really brings history to life!

A truly outstanding image; without the fisherman to give a sense of scale, the picture would not have been nearly so good. Well done!
