I like the textures on the rocks, the reflections and the sense of depth.

It might have been nice to clone out the antenna on the mountain. The lake is lovely.

Your scenery shots are beautiful. The colors, clarity and composition in this shot and others are perfect. Makes a person feel they are standing in paradise. This is one of my favorites. Nice work.

Critic Club review:

First the meets challenge well. Mary is a significant sacred lady of Christian faith and this site maybe used for pray/meditation.

The use of B&W works well on this subject. The light on white marble and shading is very good, and modified by the dark back ground and flowers in the foregraound are nice. The dof is right on.

The main downfall is where she is located on the shot. If you would have moved to the right, you could have removed the vertical wall and she wouldn't be looking off the photo but to the center.

Otherwise this is a great shot and I hope this helps a bit.

Image has some hot spots at bottom. Good cropping and I like this photo with the subject off-center. Overall good tonal range but perhaps about 1/2 or 1/3 less Stop would have yielded less hot tones. Even stopping down and using a flash might have given good tones without the hot spots on the pedestal and flower blossoms. I do like the image in the window in the BG

This is a very nice shot and the off centering of the statue works well in this shot but I would really like to have seen it in color, the black and white version leaves me wanting a bit. Also, maybe just a slightly different angle so the piller on the right wasn't in the shot? A 5

Nice B/W shot. The detail in the shadows is a little distracting though.
