That's a low score?
I would suggest doing perspective correction on this. Either the side lamp posts should be straight, or you could lose them altogether. |

Maybe I mis-spoke when I wrote 'halo'. Rather, I see almost a double edge to all the surfaces, as if the image was not sharp to start and that you sharpened post photography to make the edges sharp. The lamps look as though they have a ghost image almost superimposed but not quite. The same is true of the temple edges. The edges of all the dark surfaces are just not sharp.
My guess this has to do with the optics of the lens and could not be fixed in post processing. |
thanks very much. i think i see what you're talking about. |

| A very nice image with great color and composition, the sharpness lets it down a lot and the border is an acquired taste, even with the border if this had been sharp it would have scored way higher. |

Regarding the photo at hand, the colors of the sunrise are wonderfully rich and the use of centered composition really focuses our attention on the temple. That said, I fear that the image does not come off as sharp, especially around the temple. There is almost a small amount of halo around the entire image that makes it seem not completely in focus.
The thick border also seems to take away from the image, from the lightposts are cut off abruptly to the foreground glow lost in the thick black of the frame. |
thank you, very interesting, can't even see the halo. |

| good picture, the only thing i have to say is that maybe you should try not putting the picture in the middle, there is just to much space on the sides. |

| I love this sky, and that the temple is the main focus and it stands out because it is dark. This photograph just seems very calming. |

| Nice colours in the sky ... I think using the unsharp mask tool would improve the picture slightly |

| Nice. Centered compositions are usually too static for me but this is fine for a challenge with this theme. |

| I thin an off-center copaosition would strengthen this - maybe chop off a bit of the left so that the temple is in the thirds position. |
