Very interesting scene, very nicely captured - beautiful exposure and sharpness. I think the foregroung could profitably be reduced to allow us a better view of the birds and that intriguing waterside dwelling.

Thanks Craig.

This piece had just been painted and I had my camera handy, so I could

not resist. I would like to return with my tripod and do it properly.

Delightful subject, beautifully captured. Light streams add interest and do not detract, imho. Would enjoy seeing this larger. 6/6

I agree, v. nice crop and proportions, and interesting blue light. I would enjoy seeing this larger.

I really appreciate your comments and the suggestions from improvement. Thank you Tore!

Even dull, rainy days in Rome are full of interest, almost

everywhere you look!

I like this subject - interesting brickwork, and doors and window full of character. I think this could be improved by (1) razor sharp focus - note how the 'No Parking' sign is slightly blurred and (2) by shooting when the light is better - note how the right hand side of both doors is in shadow. The foreground snow, I like. I'm sure this pic is full emotion for anyone with a connection with this area. Even if you've never been there you still get a sense of the place. Thanks for sharing. I go 6/5.

Good DOF, prefer if subject looked at camera

Thanks for comments

Hi Rajeev,

Thanks for the interesting suggestion, which I like very much. The streetlight gave a yellow cast to my original which you have successfully removed, I'm guessing you reduced the red in the red channel with the PhotoShop channel mixer?

This was also my first wedding. Stressful, you bet, but a wonderful high when it was over. This shot was taken with tripod and D70 was fired from a laptop with Nikon capture. I could show the couple the results fullscreen, there and then. It was a relief to see they were happy.

I can only describe the first 15 minutes of the wedding as akin to the first 15 minutes of Saving Private Ryan. Everything seemed to go wrong. The groom would not pose for me - he was too nervous. I was in an unfamiliar city and scared to death my equipment would get stolen. The ancient church itself was beautiful, but as black as styx. It poured rain all day! Thankfully it all worked out in the end. This was taken next day.

Beautifully presented, with a great sky, interesting light and intriguing subject. Most original. 6/7

Your weather pics are amazing!!!

Can feel the rays from here. 6/6

A tripod shot with a very cooperative couple.

I'd prefer a closer crop. The challenge is to fill the frame and still tell the story. 5/5

I sense the moment. Face is nicely lit. What a pity the right hand obscures the jawline. 5/5

Well executed

If this is a window shot, it's very well executed.

Womderful symmetry. Figure in distance adds scale and interest.

Wonderfully sharp, beautifully observed scene. Like the pano format.

The wind was whipping up the froth into a mini blizzard.

Nice foreground detail, but could do with some detail in the sky, imho.

Interesting montage
