i really like the theme in this photo.. the dark background is also very nice. I'm actually amazed that you were able to get such a brightly lit subject and keep the background this dark. The composition with the subject in the lower portion of the frame is also quite nice... It gives me a strong impression that I'm looking up at this statue. I'm no expert on mythology (or much of anything for that matter), but isn't this Mercury and not Herclues? I thought that Mercury has the wings... maybe those were on his feet though.... good work :) = 9 - jmsetzler

I can't determine the purpose of having everything in this image out of focus. I assume it was intentional, but I'm lots on the purpose of it... any additional information on this would be nice :) - jmsetzler

This photo holds some mount of interest... The scooter seems to have absorbed the flash from your camera in a strange way as well... here's a tip that may be useful to you at some point in the future... This scooter is oriented in such a way that it's moving from right to left. You did a nice job of composition by putting it in a corner. Since the motion indication is right to left, you scooter has no more room to move in this frame.. putting it on the other side of the frame would have allowed for a better sense of 'movement' in the photo... - jmsetzler

Horizon

I realy like the way the light plays off the water/sand (mud?) in this image... Here's a note of interest... 1 - I believe your horizon is a bit too close to center here... In this particular image, *I* would have made the ineteresting detail on the lower portion of my frame a larger part of the image. 2 - the horizon is not level. I minor rotation would have leveled this up nicely... good shot :) - jmsetzler
