Nice shot. (From a Hotel window?) I like the angle, but it's a shame that the cyclo is cropped a bit, and not entirely in shot. A wider angle, or much tighter one would have been better, but still it's good.

really lovely shot. I like the abstract nature of it, and the colours. Only change i would have suggested is in turning the saturation up a notch?

With all the angles available of the harbour, this is not the best I would say. Also, is it on a slight incline?

I would also have maybe adjusted the framing slightly to remove some of the water in the foreground and bring the rower lower down the frame.

Other than that, nice crisp work.

Excellent capture of motion and fluidity. Strange wash of colour though, unless that's the monitor I'm viewing through here.
Great work.

A well framed and composed shot, but a bit too grainy for my liking. I would have liked to have seen the blue really jump out the page, but still.

Hi Mike,
Nice image, and for interest, I've just uploaded an image of a similar memorial in Viet Nam.

Hi there,
The image seems a little blurred, which is a shame, as the weather seems great. Is that a tall ship in the ocean as well?

Composition wise, if teh Moai were off centre then this would impve the imaeg, and also there's too much uninteresting (IMO) foreground, althought this is somethng I am guilty of as well. A closer shot would improve both these things and would allow for foucssing on the statues rather than the grass. One of the difficulties with photographing the statues is that they tend to be on the coast with the sun behind them, hiding the features, meaning that a close up shot is always better.

The state is actually Valpariso by the way.
Thanks for posting though.

Nice shot. Interesting to note the difference in colours between this one and my shot of the sme view.

Is it a difference in the weather or post procesing I wonder.

What a great looking church! The angle of capture is perfect IMHO, and the colouring of the sky perfectly offsets the red in the church. Nice work, thanks for sharing

Great composition, but it's a bit too blurred. Perhaps some sharpening to reduce this? Nice angle though.
