excellent details of the falls - but the blown out sky is just a little unfortunate

the completely blurroed out background is quite unsettling for me - seems far too 'graphic' for me

Comment:
i like night shots of cities - but the foreground - especially the bottom left corner with the blow out lights - is a distraction

In the Land of Sleeping Giants

the foreground is really awesome - great detail and color. the sky is so blue and the clouds are very cool. BUT - the halo around the sleeping giant shows a little too much

A light in the dark

the details in the foreground, the lighting on the building and the gentle treatment of the sky are all very well done, but with all that, there still is little that really draws me in. i think it is compositionally static - maybe more foreground and less sky - orienting the camera even down further to put the building at the top third of the image would have worked better - 5

nice detail - but there just seems to be a bit too much noise in the background and some pixelation issues on the petals on the right hand side

pretty color combinations, pretty little girl, but her pose and her looking away from the flowers works against it

fantastic colors, wonderful backlighting, the mirroring of the two gulls just adds that little touch that makes this a favorite
