| how someone could give this below a 7 (which is still a stretch) is unbeknownst to me, let alone a 1 or 2 (what were they thinking)...this was such a great capture. i love this duo-conversion, as well as the original color. only thing i would change is the fact that in the grading they don't allow an 11 to be given for instances such as this. very nice job. bravo! |

Well I don't think you'll get a good reason. The worst I can see is someone giving this is a 5 and that's assuming the person has gotten completely bored with photos of this famous opera house.

| This is extremely well done. The luminosity of it is remarkable. My first reaction to the greenish tone was pretty negative, but it has since grown on me. I might have cropped just a smidgeon off the left to lose that single, on-the-edge bright spot... bumping way up, and good luck. |

The people were fantastic and made me feel like I was home, something that I will never ever forget. I like the tones that you choose to use as they suit this photo well.
