very nice image...could use a little more saturation..not much...but a little on the figure to the left.

Just my humble opinion...but a nice image.

Wilson, I'm in the drive by rating section (not rating, but writing) and so guess this is the baby Canon hugging the ground and showing just what these cameras are best at. The sheen on the cobbles is wonderful; so too the apricots and peaches, mmm. I was just thinking how in another time you might have lent her a hand; ha, ha.

WOW! Great. Perfect time of day, great light, color. perspective, and the person really adds to this image. Wonderul work as always.

Hello Wilson, I'm already the "non tilt man"; and now I'm the "non reflection man". In my opinion the image is 7/7 if the reflection is cropped out. Without the reflection, the image is simple and powerful; with the reflection, the image has an extra and distracting element of complexity. Hey, but that's just my old fashioned opinion. Great shot anyway. Regards, "non tilt Neil".

Awesome shot! I love how it takes me all the way from the small details of the cobblestone up to the woman and the buildings. I'm not a fan of the power lines, but that is a nit pick and I suppose they couldn't be avoided anyway. Again, great shot, you're a master! 7/7

In my opinion, if you lose the reflection, you lose an important part of this composition. I love your shots where you include the reflection, or even where it IS the composition. The colors are very rich and pleasing. Nice work, Wilson!

Took me an hour to get here.... Wilson, For me the woman figure is an essential ellement in this one, aside from your expertise in technical ability. very nice work, dof, colors and especialy the light and a "piece of life" that the woman's figure represent.

I was cruising new photos...bored with most. And then I came across yours. You never fail to delight me with your visions of the world.Thank you! 7/7 from me, even though they won't let me...

 

BTW, Roger and I might be in Seattle area this fall. Maybe we can hook up!

We'll be in Seattle in the fall, too - likely around Sept 26 or so. We'll probably hook up with Mark Boyer again. Maybe we could do a mini-Photonet Fest??

that's exactly what we want from you Wilson ;-) you managed to even make this cobblestone-street look shiny and special!

Ooooh, I'm late! I say, the image is great, just as is. The reflection is very important, balances the image (rule of thirds), in my opinion. Love the color, the perspective view & of course the composition!
