Nice framing with the trees and good use of the available light to catch the reflection. Nice rich colors in the scenery, a shame there is not the same richness in the tower. Good luck JG

I love the composition, and the reflection in the water. The tower is a little washed out though. It looks like the lighting was tough though (very bright sky, but very dark around pond). I wonder if a polarising filter would have helped - others would know the answer to this. Well done.

Very funny, tell me if the drawings at the top have a meaning I am not getting. Good use of b/w, very clear subject.

Kinda looks like bamaster. lol. I'm not sure if Black and White was the best choice here. I'd personally like to see it in colour. Jacko. 7

You got a real high self asteem, don't change a thing. Your pic looks a littl low on contrast and for a portrait the guys on the wall do clash with the main subject. 6

The foreground colours are excellent but the colours in the distance, particularly the tower and sky look a little washed out.

Not sure about this one...Shadows are a bit harsh on the left side. The flash is slightly harsh in the eyes. A deeper DOF would make the nose stand out less.

I\'m not sure this was the best choice for a landscape entry. The entry seems to focus more on the building then on the land around it... especially because that is what the lines lead to. Also it looks like the sun was coming from behind the building creating that glary white you get sorrounding the building which is fairly destracting. Very intresting building though? what is it?

Kill it before it multiplies!! Haha! Just kidding. I think the camera flash casts a harsh shadow on the wall behind it and a harsh reflection in the eyes. I don't think the black and white works well here... I'll bet this looks better in color. And the drawings back there are a little distracting.

This looks like an architecture pic more than a landscape. We'll pretend its a landscape for the sake of argument. I don't like the trees being in the way. It doesn't work for me with the vertical framing. I'd have pushed the top of the building to get the rest of the reflection in the water. Good shot nonetheless - Inspzil
