sorry, this is just too confusing. i would have preferred you to either have shot a portrait or a landscape, but not try to cram both into one, especially when you've done such a nice bw conversion. the desat leaves her looking very much pasted in. the top of the photo, without her, is very strong, in and of itself.

beautiful enough, but not really over the top.

way cool. just wish you'd gone for a deeper dof; just my personal taste, though.

this is just begging for sharpness. these shots are tough, but stick with it, and you'll get what you're after.

i guess your alternate title was 'blue sky' ;-) nicely observed, even though it's probably a bit too subtle for most of this crowd. i wonder how many viewers actually notice the skyline on the horizon...

sorry, but in my opinion, you've ruined a perfectly beautiful photograph with your processing. i imagine this may be gushed over by some, but for me, this is what i would expect to see printed on velvet, being sold in a rural flea market...and i don't think it really needs to be that way. the composition and capture are excellent. oh well, to each their own.

Marriott Royal Hotel

the colors and treatment of the sky make this a bit more interesting than it really seems to be. i don't imagine too many people would think of a photo of the front of a hotel as being representative of their best work of the year, but then again, it's all subjective, isn't it ;-)

nice observation, except that it makes my neck hurt ;-) love the colors. nice job with a tough exposure, as well.
