I love this one, Deb! I might have framed the hubcap a little differently, but that's a personal pref. Since the car is in shadows, the reflection of the building that is in the sun really stands out. The shot as a whole is really smooth.

Certainly a very unique POV. Very nice looking car as well.

This is my favorite of the kurhaus ones as well. The nice lines of the edge of the fountain (and the row of trees as well) lead one into the photo and straight to the great building.

More than competent, especially since it was basic editing. I really like the off angle, it adds a lot of interest. I agree with whoever commented that the sky needs to be darker. A way to get this in basic is to darken the blues before doing the b&w conversion.

If it were me (take this with a grain of salt, my landscape abilities are caca), I would try two different things. First, I'd get down lower, closer to the water, then shoot up more to get more sky. I think that might be a more interesting angle. Second, I might try a long exposure, to make the water more silky smooth. That would require a ND filter or less light, maybe twilight. Or shoot very early in the morning when there's less wind to disturb the water.

Very competent. Good, even. :) The composition is terrific (take THAT, Robert!).

Having fun with the wide angle lens?

Beautiful colors and fun, wide angle.

I disagree with Judi. At the focal lengths available on that lens, 1/50s should be plenty fast. I mean, I take shots with 50mm lenses at 1/60 handheld all the time without a problem.

The slight blurring is probably due more to the wide aperture than the shutter speed.

Like I would, sky darker must be.

Yes that was a failed attempt at Star Wars humor.

I think a dark sky would bring out that building and complement the dark water.
