Excellent use of reflection. Great idea and execution.

Very creative. I think a bit more dof to bring out some of the bricks surrounding the reflection would actually have helped. Or maybe some more contrast...something to make them pop just a bit more. Unique capture from a beautiful city.

Comment by samtrundle:
really great idea here. Lacking a little something in the execution - I would prefer this if you had kept the bricks in focus too. The colouring might be a little flat too. Still kudos for the great eye.

Wow, great reflection shot. Its to bad the ground wasn't clear as well. Perhaps using a tripod might have helped? I think clearing the stones would have made for a better pictures if at all possible. Also a 90 degree rotation CCW may have looked nicer. Great color and clarity in the reflection. Well done and keep up the good work in 2005

Comment by Artan:
I went there this year. Its a beautiful. Town.
I wish all the cobbles were a little sharper, as they distract from the reflection.
Some selective sharpening on these will help in this matter.

Nice compo. I'd like a bit more colors saturation IMO.

The border is distracting.

Comment by Gauti:
good title. the photo is not so interesting and since it does not spark my interest I have no suggestions on how to do it better. On a technical note: you could try to set the WB on your camera to the paper (to effectively remove it - or at least that's what I think will happen) and a second lightsource to the L and Down to remove the darker L side. Good luck. /5 for meeting the challenge.
