Over saturated but pleasant - in my opinion that could do with being more humble and is usually wrong.

Well you missed the 5.2, but I like it and if you like it thats what really important...I think a less centered comp would have helped the score, but thats just my opinian...

Nice, simple and possessing a look that looks more film than digital. Lacking a wow factor and a wee bit of sharpness (something like f/8 will be sharper on that lens I suspect).

Now I feel enlightened. I did not know what this building was until I read your comments.

I like the title and i like how you isolated the beautiful shapes of the pagoda top. I think the center crop is a bold choice for this shot. With a bold choice I think a bolder processing style may have been in order. The whites don't quite seem bright enough as if it is a bit underexposed - a boost in levels could fix most of this. Also, the crop is really tight on top and I think a slightly taller image would have feld less crowded and a bit less closed.

To me, the title is screaming for a more wide open composition. The sky is marvelous and I think bringing it out more would have been a big boost.

Two things initially come to mind, orange colour cast and non-traditional border - but I'm pleased to say I think both work here. Perhaps the orange is a little overdone but it completements the field and contrasts well with the blue water. The border gives it a video game feel and gives the image a "development animation" feel - hope that makes sense. The composition seems a bit weighted on the right hand side - two figures + stream verses just the one figure on the left.

I love the dramatic effect (in my opinion) the sky has on the Pagoda.
