incredible colours and a very attractive diagonal cloud in the sky.
The distant girlfriend however appears a bit too small and distracting at the same time due to her red shirt.
Maybe getting closer using a shorter focal length would have worked...

very nice warm/cold contrast ans an extreme composition that works.
Still, I think that cropping the blue on the left side just a little would give an even better balance.

A picture with a story, beautiful landscape.
A pity that the person actually washing the bus is in the shade.

Very nice shot with the horizon exactly in the right place.
It lacks something interesting in the foreground, however (e.g. a slightly bigger boat.
I don't quite like the position of the boat on the left - either it needs a litttle bit more space to sail into - or just a bit more time to completely leave the frame.
There seem to be some artefacts around the edges.

Looks like a sculpture by Igor Mitoraj to me.
I had the chance to see a few in Paris last December.
Nice composition with the verticals of the face, the pavement and the stairs against the vertical columns.
I also like the balance between the irregular (organic) form of the face and the rigid symmetry of the surroundings.

an original combination of an abstract shot and a portrait. Beautiful colours. Having one bulb illuminated and the other one not is a nice touch.

Very interesting, funny idea.
Personally, I would crop the picture to bring the moon out of the centre.
I have put a cropped version in a workshop to show what I mean.
It's a pity the scan isn't too good, - would be nice to see a scan frm the original rather than a print!

I love this shot: nice warm colours, very graphical, - one of the best shadow-photos I have seen.

very strong colours, as well as an interesting perspective.
I especially like the red reflection on the track - is this genuine?
(I wonder why the other colours do not appear to be reflected?)
Very well-composed.

Beautiful. Very strong colours (the polarizer...) and the white boulders give it a surreaistic touch.
I'd like to see something like one of those stones in the foreground though...
