Thanks jKay!

Very spiritual image. Love the soaring bird. I see 2 light sources though. That disturbs me a bit. Is this a composite of 2 images?

Dear Smooch, thank you very much. No its not a composite. Just one single straight photo with some curves and saturation tweaked.

wow very very majestic and inspirational
beautiful composition!!

For me, it has the wow-factor. The sun shining at diffrent please trough a wall of clouds, that's a really nice capture. The whole envirement must have been very inspirational.

its difficult for me to critique this image as i am still trying to work out what it is! I was once told that there are two types of people to please when presenting an image. the first group loves an image that keeps them guessing and the second is the type that likes to know what they are looking at! I come into the second group. however on saying that, I love the lighting and love the colours.

Thanks! Its an ash tray shot from above with sunlight from the side and fill-in-flash.

jKay does has a good point, about those two sorts of people. Before I read your own comment, I guessed it was an ash tray... and I was right :) That makes me somebody of jKay's second group.

Anyway, my compliments about how you controlled the light, looks it wasn't an easy job.

a very abstract image. although it has impact, i would have a little more space around the subject - for it to 'breath'. very creative photo.

Thanks jKay, though its almost full frame no crop. What I think, if one keeps empty space for it to breathe it would be too much of white in an almost wite photo!

very interesting photo!
i love the simplicity yet effectiveness of the photo
great shot!

i can see what you are trying to do in the photo and it nearly works. you have the lead in line with the tram tracks and have isolated a couple by retaining colour. overall though, the image is just too busy - can't be helped in a crowed place though! I think that if you made this portrait rather land landscape, you would have a more simplified image. try cropping it on the right with the bottom right track starting in the bottom right corner.
great imagination!

Thanks for the input, I will try that out!

Beamer, Tamara, Jon,

Thanks all of you for your interest and inputs on this photo. I am putting one more like this on critique soon!

superbe et impressionnant grâce aux minuscules personnages. Un léger manque de contraste

Lasiate, Merci pour vos commentaires! Le gars dans l'image donne cette échelle.

I love the way that the line through the rocks carries your eye across the frame. Agree with the positive comments above, well done.

Thanks Boyd!

Very interesting composition. Have you tried adjusting the curves a bit to give it a bit more oomph? Also, there is a slightly purple cast (when viewed on my screen).

Strange subject, very interesting. It looked like a face in the thumbnail. I like the composition and the tonal range. The color does feel strange, but this may well be what it looks like??

It does look like a face and I have captioned it " The Look". Thanks for your comments!

I think you did the purple cast on purpose? Anyway, the whole scene feels a bit stange imo. I don't know exactly where I'm looking at. Maybe zoom out a bit would be good, 'couse it would show the scale of your subject - I do miss that in your image.

Interesting subject and treatment here Apurva. I like the off-balance composition that you have used, and the colour cast issue that others mention is not so big for me (but that might be my monitor). Also, as Tamara says, it would be good to get an idea of scale projected with the image.

Pamukkale terraces gone dry. Taken at Pamukkale, central Turkey. These terraces are famous for their hot water springs, supposed to have healing properties.

I've been there, it's a special place indeed. To bad I wasn't in to photography that time :)

Maybe you could have been add something what showes the scale, like the other photo you took in central Turkey? Though I've been there, still I have troubles with deciding how big the terraces on you photo are.
I like the angle you used. It's show the stalactites well.

I too have trouble with the composition of this one. The subjects are wonderful, I just don't think your composition show them off very well. The drama and surprise of your other one is missing here. Maybe a higher angle to show the tops of the terraces, I assume they have hot water in them. This would show the context better and perhaps create a more dramatic composition.

j'aime bien ces couleurs dans le crème

What a place! It seems a bit overexposed though..or si it my screen ? :)

This is an interesting photomanipulation...

Nice catch!

Very cool image. Nicely framed and very crisp focus on the pelican. What a great shot. Excellent work.
