Beautiful, clear, crisp focus, and color is good, appropriate background.

strong graphic content, shows texture but doesn't have a lot of appeal to me.

Thanks for all of your comments. Will work on sharpness, resolution, and other technical issues. I'm so glad that a few of you identified with this photo of my Suma. Suma is a major character (there are others) in my days, and always so willing to freeze for the moment. And he is well rewarded! :-) This pic was a moment after I hand-fed him a favorite treat, right here at my desk. I used the built in flash and he was looking up at me and there it was.

Definetly one of my favorites.....probably will end up in my top 10. I really love this photograph, the light and shadow adds dimension to the already present interesting texture of the architecture. I am already a fan of arches so you gain my interest there. Your depth of field is good. I'm glad I can look at any point in the image and see relatively focused. The foreground flowers on the right don't seem to be crystal clear, but certainy acceptable.
Overall I love the rustic appeal of this picture and I'd hang it on my wall. (as if I could find any room on my walls. )
I'm back to say after voting on all the submissions, this is the only one that I gave a 10 to. I like it so much.

Artsy! Interesting and strong graphic. Doesn't show much of the natural texture though.
