Nice trio. There does seem to be just a tiny bit of noise in the blue sky. hehe..never mind, it's a dirty monitor. Great shot!

You sure got a perfect morning for photos! Great perspective on this one, with the colors swirling against the bright blue sky.

I like this shot of the subway better than the other one, although I think you could clone out or smart erase the location sign (to make it more universally appealing). The perspective and lines are superb. Composition & lighting are also good, but I'd like to see a little less glare from the foremost overhead light.

I've been on the DC Metro numerous times (as I used to live in the area) and I don't remember it looking so nice, clean, & crisp! Very nice work!

Thank you - great suggestions. Very helpful and much appreciated. I did some of what you mentioned - but probably not enough. Will work on tweaking it. I understand what you mean about the illusion of tilt - definitely is there.

This is actually in the San Diego, CA area - Coronado Island.

I really like the depth & perspective of this shot. The blurriness of the subjects other than the subway is a little distracting (albeit only slightly because you're depicting movement anyway). The colors are good and the lines are excellent - it really draws your eye into the photograph.

Nice work! (My 2 cents as humble as they may be...)

Really nice composition and I like the use of B/W. There's good detail and the shot makes me want to know what's happening behind the upstairs window! I think you could reduce some of the glare by reducing backlighting and turning down the contrast a bit. Overall though, I think it's a great shot - and whenever you evoke an emotion from the viewer, you've already won. (And you did!)

Comment by SJCarter:
Very nice shot. I know it may sound trivial, but I'd really like to see the horizon a little more level. Even if the perspective has created the illusion of the image not being level, it could probably be cranked up on the left a hair or two.

The composition is great. I love the rocks in the foreground. I think you could probably turn up the colors & contrast a bit (perhaps reduce backlighting as well) to increase the visible detail of the building & surroundings, as well as make the shot "pop" a little more. You can probably selectively bring out the blues in the sky too - the cloud color and the sand seem to blend a little too much. (If you know what I mean...)

And by no means take my word as an expert! These are just my thoughts and 2 cents worth... It's a really beautiful shot. It's at DisneyWorld, isn't it?

Very nice! I really like this - could be an ad or magazine layout. Great job.

Greetings,
For some reason the colors look a little off or fadedon this shot too me, i.e. the dome looks more grey than white and the blue of the sky seems to lack "pop" perhaps these could be correct through PS?? Other than that, this is an awesome shot, I love the composition and angle, looks like something off of a promotional shot!
