Hi Sally!

Positives:
The crop is good and even and the archways in the background are aligned nicely. Nice textures, with the brick and stone walkways. Meets the challenge well.

Possible Improvements:
Lighting is a bot harsh, as folks mentioned below, the background area and fountain is a bit overexposed. Since you are using natural light, I would suggest either taking the photo earlier in the morning or later in the afternoon. You could also try using a neutral density filter or polarizer to help with this. Colors are also just a bit dull, which I think a polarizer might help correct.

Overall, this is interesting photo that with just a little correction on the exposure, would be a great photo.

Good luck in your future challenges.

Chris

Nice picture, shame it's a little overexposed. I'd have liked more contrast in PS.

Nice shot, and a good magazine cover, with a vertical format and space at the top that could carry type without spoiling the picture.

I think this would look nice with a diffuser filter or the fountain doing something a little nicer (if it changes sprout styles). I like the composition

good picture, but I feel the fountain isn't just right.

Great perspective and composition. I would definitely see this on a magazine. 8

Good luck...

A crop up to the bottom of the figures would not have taken anything away.

It could be an optical illusion, but the photo doesn't seen horizontal to me, nice composition
