Comment by MelonMusketeer:
Good picture, but a bit high in detail for me. This looks like a great place to shoot single details like the statues.

The idea is good. Cut it into a portrait of just the person, then maybe even better??? Above average.

Comment by shamer:
Ambiguous diagonal connection with this one - unless it s'posed to be the slightly skewed horizon impression. If so, perhaps taken it a bit further would have been in order here. Seems more like a tourist snapshot than a thoughtfully composed work of creativity. I'm pretty much a newbie here, though, so take my comments with a grain of salt - just 'cause I'm being critical doesn't mean I think MY stuff is doing any better! You'll likely lap my submission... Good luck!

It's an imperfect image - yet I find it romantic and lovely. The grey sky is one I like a lot. 8.

Comment by Jutilda:
Great composition but I think it's screaming for some post editing. I'd work with levels and contrast to really give some pop to the colors. I might even up the saturation of red so that the umbrella has the POW factor it deserves. This might be a cool study in black and white as well.

should have used the rule of thirds, the bottom half of picture is distracting

I think a tighter crop would have had more impact. There is too much empty space.

Not very much of a diagonal. Good picture though.
