You can tell by the yellow bill with black legs. I like the reflection, but the bird itself it a bit blown out. Pretty, though.

My. This just grabs me- the perspective, the fortuitous foreground, the details of texture...

Great! Just tiny bit too much foreground...

This was taken just after susnet from a hill opposite the Alhambra. It

was cropped slightly and the remains of a crane removed; the only

other Photoshopping was to attempt to rig the color the to match that

of the projected slide more closely. I can't seem to get the shadows

to show the contrast that's evident when projected. Is it too

contrasty? Too much foreground?

I agree- but as the floor was reserved for worshippers, I could only take pictures from the balcony. This was almost the only angle from which I could take any pictures. Also, as I recall, this was late afternoon, if not twilight- the interior is just surprisingly dark.

Any thoughts or pointers would be great.

Really good sky and very evocative wall.

The mountain is absolutely beautiful! My only quibbles are with the right foreground (lacks interest) and the beige-colored trees in the middle, which appear oddly out of focus- despite the fore- and backsgrounds being sharp.

This is very nice indeed- it makes me wistful for Paris. Two things detract from it just a little: first, the picture feels a bit tilted right; second, the cloudy sky picks up a bit too much of the spotlights. A clearer night would have helped, but hey, you can't control the weather!

Beautiful! I'm surprised there's so much glare on the rocks, since you used a polarizer. To me, it still looks like it needs a polarizer. But then, all my polarized skies with Velvia do have a tendency to get too dark...
