I really like this photo. It's very moody and conveys a strong sense of place. It works for me on the level of art... I would love to have a big print of this on my wall... but as a stock photo I'm not sure it works. Still, I love it too much not to give it a 10!

I fel that this one is just too busy. What is the main subject? Is it the tree, the people, the houses, or the bicycles, or even the sun? I heard a simple picture is the hardest to take. 5

Those people are wondering why you are taking their photos :-) I like this photo but I have the feeling that the colour version would have done it more justice. Or maybe you could have played around with the channel mixer a little to bring out more tones in the image, it is a tad too dark the building walls. You couldn't couldn't have increased the brightness anymore because the sun is already a little blown out at the top of the tree. This is a typical problem with shooting into the sun.

You need to keep the vertical lines straight --- the pole jumps out immediately. Otherwise, it's a good B/W picture showing "Amsterdam on a late winter afternoon" (good title).

I was in Amsterdam 26 years ago visiting relatives in winter. This shot looks as cold as I remember it to be. The light filtering down the lane really makes this shot. Great work. I'd write something in Dutch but I can't spell it, and can only speak a bit. But I can understand a fair bit especially when my mums swearing at me.

This photo needs to be tilted one or two degrees ccw. I like the tree in the center, but I don't like how bright it is. Overall good shot though
