Of course they are in the sky and they are beautiful! Good light, colors and composition.

I rate this with a 3/3 beaucause it is a very easy shot for me, the composition don?t saids nothing, and i really think this is below the average of the works shown in the web or at least between the top photos, there is nothing personal on it, i have a lots of shot like this on my wastebasket, i know i?m not anonymous and i don?t like to lie, of course it is my personal opinion, other people could think this is a 7/7 shot i don?t mind.

Fernando, I think 3/3 is for really bad photos. I think this rating system is totaly unprecise and subjective. Or... hmm, I don`t know. There are 3/3s for garbage photos, and 3/3s for not-so-good photos?? I must say Andrea made a good job here. She made from a simple subject a spectacular one. I really like the shadows on the ground and the way the trees in the right side are highlighted.

Anyway, what bothers me is that almost everyone confounds the aesthetics with originality. I mean you can have a 3/7 or a 7/3... It depends! Hard to make such a rating, isn`t it?

Yes the rating is very subjective, i have seen really top photos and i?m speaking about real great photos not PS manipulations with 3/3 ratings, I really don?t like how the web manage the rates, only anonymous count in the average even more than photografer like us who understand better photografie than anyone who take times to times for a while a tour in this web site and don?t know how to hold a camera. If he or her is anonymous it counts, it is very cruel beacause some people for envy or just beacause they are just idiots can rate how they like without criterion, and their rating count more than photografer student like yourself or myself just beacause they are anonymous. About this shot i have rated it with a 3/3 beacause it was in the top photos and for me compared with other top photos this is a 3/3 and no more. In the overall world of photografie this could be perfectly a 4/4, at least it isn?t manipulated, another thing that bother me is how people prefer the easy PS manipulations than the real photos, pherhaps they have forgoten that there are painters to do pictures who have lots of more art than PS manipulators, I know a new art is emerging ?Digital Art? but ?Digital Art? must be creative not just to put beautifull colors in a bad photo or composition, In other way i don?t understand what is originality, i?m a studen of art and i have studied advanced composition so i know a bit the visual lenguage and what is a good visual message, but originality ???? thats new for me and very funny yes really funny, i was guessing it was www.photo.net not www.photofake.net

I wish this site was a bit more serious.

Andrea, I love this landscape of yours. The sun shining on the trees at right, the magnificent sky... cheers Jana
