Hey there! Great to see you started getting some shots on TE. There is a lot of detail in this shot but nothing really catches my eye. You might try cropping it so that the heads of the three figures form a line from the lower middle of the picture to the upper right. This would probably get rid of some of the annoying glare on the glass and some of that candle in front. Also if you put more than a couple of sentences in your note people can mark them as helpful and (I think) give you points.

I really like this shot. The angle of the sun brings out curves and the texture. But I think the building is a bit overexposed in the upper right corner.

Great shot. I love that the roof line and the staircase work to form the building into a triangle while the curves in the building make it seem as if its melting - almost Dali-esque.

Very nice. I expecially like the triangular bit of sky reflected on the water. I've seen lots of red sunset reflections on the water but I don't recall noticing a blue sky before. Did you do any post-processing to bring it out?

Intriguing. I like that you have upended the photo. It makes for a disorienting angle appropriate to the subject matter.

Very nice! I like the way the three faces are aranged drawing you into the photo and leaving you wondering about what is going on around it.

Good shot! I have been tried photographing two carousels this summer and due to all the colors and lights have found it difficult to isolate a subject.

Marvelous! I love the way the mountain ridge and the treeline parallel each other and bring us right down to the green fields.

Wonderful shot. I love the contrast between the lush green valley and the dry red hillside and between the ruins and the new walls.

Good shot. But I agree with nchfan, some context would be nice. For instance why are they in mourning? And why do they have small beards painted on their chins?
