Ian, this is actually a much more deserving pic. You should be proud of it and your beautiful talent for this art.

Mmmmm strawberries & sugar. Too bad the challenge didn't include "whipped". Some whipped cream would've been lovely! :D

I don't like the blurry whit ein the background - cloud background? I'm not sure. I think it detracts from an otherwise very lovely shot.

Like it, but I should've taken it from a lower angle, so only the radiation would have been visible in stead of the moon.

Greetings from the critique club!

This is one of those photograph that has such strong appeal, but just did not quite hit the mark. The repitions of the columns and the angel at which you took it are absolutely wonderful. There is a feeling of invitation to walk down this path, to immmerse oneself further into the photograph.

I am feeling that the colors are a bit muted and that might be because of the time of day this was taken. I think I would prefer a bit more saturation of the colors and a higher contrast. I have read the other comments you have received, and I would agree that Black and White might be an interesting way to go with this. Unless the colors are a primary part of the photograph, Black and White can bring out more of the "feeling" of a place.

Overall this is not a bad photograph, and has true potential to move into greatness.
