You're right it looks a lot like a watercolor. Those reds are very firey, well done.

Interesting! It looks like a night shot but the sun is there. Good illusion! The composition is great.

Cool texture! The frost adds a lot to the effect. Not too keen on the border though, the color clashes with your image.

An interesting shape you have there. You've depicted winter weather well (don't worry Spring will come to you soon). I think you shouldn't have centered everything so exactly though but composed the image more using the rule of thirds.

Wow wild weather!!! I like the layering you have composed, although I would prefer to have seen less darkness at the bottom and more sky at the top.

This would also be good for the fauna challenge this week. I like the natural framing you've created with the trees.

I like the layering you have composed. Sky layer, mountain layer, tree layer.

The Colors of Light

Hi Kelly. Congratulations on an excellent image. 21st place from 295 entries is something to be proud of. This is a good find and subject for the challenge, you got very lucky here. The colors are amazing. I was wondering what it was, I though maybe a motel or something. I would never have guessed a cinema.

The reflections off the glass give your pic that extra impact, added to the vivid colors in the windows. I tried to find your reflection in the window but couldn't :-) The focus is bang on bringing out the detail much more.

What bothers me a little is the sky up the top right, it is a little too bright in comparison to the rest of the pic. I get the feeling this is an evening shot but the sky is contradicting that feeling. As was already mentioned in one of the comments below I would have waited a little longer until it was later to get a darker sky in. Also the colors would have been highlighted even more.

Also going from a dark photo to a completely white border distracts a little, I would have prefered to have seen either no border at all, or else a darker one.

All in all a very good image and after looking at your past results your best so far. Well done.

Good panorama effect, the oranges come out very vividly there. The border is uneven though.

Spooky, that place looks haunted! Good shot, you've given me a chilly feeling. Maybe the church steeple is a little too centered though.
