Hi Culu,

This is a fun and witty shot. I think it is a nice reflection off the roof of a just waxed automobile? ;-) The day looks like it was rather dreary, so I agree with the suggestion to increase the saturation in order to make the few colors in the picture stand out...also, perhaps cropping a portion of the bottom would increase the illusion of water's reflection...all in all, a fun picture. Well seen!

Cheers,

Linda

Hi Paula,

I enjoy this shot very much; the steam rising off the soup sets a wonderful mood. Am wondering if you might want to try a second version with a left hand side crop so the very bright white sunlight is just a sliver of the whole composition. Thanks for posting; well done!

Hi Marcia,

This mural has such vibrant and fantastic colors! You've given the viewer a nice hint of the scale by including the fence top and bottom in the right side of the frame. Well seen and well done. Thanks for posting.

Best Regards,

Linda

Thanks for posting! It has been too hot this week in all of California...the wintry picture helps. Great cool colors. Linda

Hi Maciek, this is a stunning shot; great clarity and sharpness, good DOF, nice framing with the sign post on the right, and the boulder positioned in the center / froeground. The colors in the sky are dramatic, and add good contrast to the beautiful subject matter. Best Regards, Linda

Well seen and well done. Very nice framing of a fantasticly abstract scene! Congratulations on a eye-catching shot. The note is thoughtful, and adds nice depth to the posting ;-) Bast Regards, Linda

Very nice compo and POV. I'm really partial to these colourful, abstract water reflection shots, and the tie in to the recent World Cup is timely ;-) Best regards, Linda

Hi Nigel, I really like the mood of the shot and the atmosphere you've managed to capture here; the steam from the train, the atmospheric haze in the distant hills, and the rusty red of the building on the left create a timeless quality. Best Regards, linda

Wow. Such clarity in the foreground. Really well done. Such contrasts of soft yet hard, smooth, yet sharp, cold yet feeling the warmth of the sunlight coming though. Contrast is excellent. The focal point to the background, just left of center is great. Very well done. Best Regsrds, Linda

Hi Alberto, this is beautiful; nice DOF, and good perspective / composition - the inclusion of the rock in the right and foreground leads the viewer's eye to the distant rock on the horizon. A nice choice of border, too. Best Regards, Linda
