 Really tricky to get the light right on this, either the stairs in the foreground were too bright or the subjects too dark. In the end I chose a compromise shooting in Manual mode and twaeked the level and curves for ages to come up with this. I also selected and boosted the green of the pool.

Excellent eye! The strong spiraling lines pull you naturally into the image. The diners are an unexpected surprise. The people on the second landing are a bit distracting, but not enough for me to drop the vote on the image. 9

This is a great idea, but, the people on the next level down should be off camera. At first glance, I thought the photo was about them, and it wasn't until I stared a bit that I understood this scene and why the view was so unusual.

Though a little busy and a little overexposed, this is still a nice take on the challenge and definately took a good eye!

The people at the top of this image spoil the shot. ould you have taken the shot again when they had moved on, or cropped the image to remove them.

What a cool picture. I can't think of any helpful hints to make it better as I like it just like it is!

Wow - fantastic fraiming. Nice catch! I get the feeling this could be improved if the fountain wasn't so priminant but I'm not quite sure how to go about it - maybe by cloning out the lights? Still, one of my favourites from this challenge.

I wish the other two guys hadn't made it into the photo. Otherwise, very nice indeed.
