Nice mirroring of curves of rainbow and building.

Great capture. Could have lifted the colours a bit with levels or curves though. Very nice use of space too. [8]

Do you have PS? "Transform" would have helped those crooked buildings. Good catch of the rainbow.

I like this photo. My only suggestion is that the bottom left [stand] is a distraction. Maybe a tighter crop. Unusual subject and interesting to look at. Nice.

The graphic impact of this image is very fun. This collection of statues makes for a great composition. I don't know if you manipulated the colors or not, but I like the way it works here. It has the feel of a BW image, but the sepia-yellow tints add warmth. It also has great range from black in the background to the whites in the nearest bust. The highlights appear to be a little blown on the nearest, but I think that adds to the feel of the image. OVeral, lighting is very good. The only thing I would prefer changed in this image would be to crop out the marble statue bases at the bottom (or shoot from a slightly different angle to exclude them). Not a big deal, but the harsh geometric lines of the bases clash with the curves, forms , and textures of the statues (in my perception, anyway). I'm giving this image a 10 because it has WOW factor! Nice job and good luck in the challenge. I hope to see this shot do well.

its more like 'cows avoiding the summer sun'. i think the photo might have been more powerful if you had got a little closer in and got more detail on the cows.

A midday shot right? Good idea, although I would have tried to get in a little closer or at least used the zoom (if you have one)

Nice composition remind me of the dutch master painters. Over exposed however, and you could crop on the left withou loosing anything. If you'd walked around to the right, could you have gotten the shot without the pines in the background - just the one tall tree with the cows under it? That would be nice.
