I like the scene. The clouds look slightly overprocessed to me. -

Saturation a bit too over the top for my taste.

Superb composition. Such great tone and sharp detail, taken under street conditions. Congrats.

I really like the central part of the image. My problem is that the windows on the store, which have more contrast and detail, keep drawing my eye away from the subject. I would simplify it by cropping more aggressively. -

I love it. Simple shapes. The texture is captured so well I want to reach my hand out and stroke the grass. 7/6. -

Terrific composition, interesting subject. The color seems a tad oversaturated. For my personal taste, B&W would be a better medium for this one. -

better in b&w? -
Nice shot, interesting composition, especially viewed larger (6/6). -
Lovely place, lovely shot. Thanks.

Ken, this is a good illustration of how important time-of-day is to one's impressions of a photograph displayed on a monitor. I first saw your photo on a photo-accurate monitor, but there was a window with bright sunlight flashing on the blinds. Now that I see your photo in the evening, I see that I was way off. Your interpretation is right on. -
I so love the subject, the composition, and the atmosphere. Congrats! I do wonder whether it could be even better, if post-processed to increase the contrast in the building and in the rock structures. I also think adding a touch of blue (not cyan) into the bright parts of the sky makes for a striking image - less smokey, but more foggy and mysterious. Here's my quick take (I hope you don't mind my monkeying):

6/6 I try to resist cute kitty photos, but find yours irresistible. Congrats! -
I do not understand the controversy here. My "objection" was not to the idea of improving the beauty of an image via software, it was simply a modest suggestion for doing a better job of it to this image. To me, the issue is simple: Photography has two "purposes" in life. It can document the literal truth. Or it can be a means toward the creation of something beautiful. These things sometimes overlap, of course. When that happens it is a rare and wonderful thing. But those of you who would limit photography only to those images are missing out on both a lot of fun and a lot of beauty. And, if my say so, your cause was lost long ago, if the "top photos" regularly selected by the photo.net community are any indication. To me Don is correct by pointing out that this is an integrity issue. So long as one does not misrepresent the origin of an image, its beauty alone determines its artistic value.

I love the composition, the movement, the lighting. Nearly perfect. Would be even better (7/7) if you added black "canvas" to the top and bottom (and possibly also to the left) so your dancers have more "room" to move around inside the image. Here's a quick illustration, but by no means "it."

Wonderful in every way, except perhaps one: although I appear to be the only person on the planet with this comment - the sky looks off-color to me, as though it were plucked from another photo and skillfully layered in. In part this is because the clouds seem to have been captured with a wide-angle lens. In part, it is because, though beautiful, the sky seems to be from a different time of day. For what it's worth, I believe a photo-filter layer of cooling blue would improve the sky color and provide a nicer contrast with the warm vegetation color below. Just my two cents. Stunning, as is, however.

The attempt to recover blown highlights, particularly in the clouds, is a bit distracting for my personal taste.
