I actually like this shot better than Nasti´s photo even though her´s is great and certainly deserves it, but for me personally just lighting is way more effective for me and I like the strong contrast and pitch black shadows. I actually would have wanted to see this in second place but not up to me to decide... Nice work!

Nice shot Nasti, only need that red ribbon to finish out your full house though, won´t be long if you keep submitting I think. Congrats!

Had a hunch this was either yours, Martin´s or Gary´s and mean that as a compliment. Lighting is ace!

Sorry for taking so long to comment :)

Well, I may be objectionate as I have both seen and taken ton´s of photos of this subject and this one is very typical to me. I mean a foreigner who has never seen it before would probably like it a lot but to me it just is the textbook image from this place and you need to find another angle, viewpoint or have something spectacular at this location to impress me. Don´t get me wrong, I don´t dislike it at all and there is absolutlely nothing wrong with it but you need to do something different like I said to catch my eye.

Don't disturb !

Well all I can say is two thumbs up! Awesome expression on the, again, very cute baby. Like everything about the shot except maybe for the bright lower right corner, darken that and I would maybe have added it to my favorites and I am very picky. Keep it up!

Well maybe even sorrier about not really finding anything to say about the shot. It´s nice, above average and I like it. However, not loving it either and well that´s it... Like the clarity of the shot.

I really like this shot, however, have a strong feeling it is not done justice in web resolution, needs to be printed out BIG for it to really pop. Not much I can say about improvements, except I would have cloned out the two flare lightsources that are on either side of the shot, the one on the left is just barely half in the frame and they both kindof draw the eye away from the object in the center. Also, maybe shot this just a bit earlier in the day, about half an hour after sunset to just get a hint of blue in the sky would have appealed more to me personally but it works nicely the way it is now so not at all something bad.

LOVE the composition, draws the eye nicely to the center.
