Excellent!

I think this is wonderful! Very (for lack of better words before I have my morning coffee) painterly!

Inspired and beautiful.

Excellent!

Great concept.

'Royal Wedding' anyone? 

Interesting composite.

Excellent! Looks like a 7 to me.

What can anyone say?

Nicely picturesque and well composed.

Very saucy!

Your unknown bird is a Cole Night Heron.

It doesn't get much better than this. I've visited and stood in front of this scene many times and this is one of the best photographs of the Merced in front of the valley that I've ever seen. The only way this could have been improved would have been to use a large format camera to pay homage to the large format masters that have been there before working with their big cameras.

Great work!

I find most of these quite compelling landscapes and regard your Afghan work as top notch. To bad Afghanistan can't be at peace. It has much to offer the world as a place and culture.

I think this is a very engaging photograph demonstrating sensitivity of the subject depicted in a artful manner.

Very nice indeed.

1) Lower your camera to raise the implied horizon line.

2) You shot is too wide and perspective is distorted.

3) Move closer or zoom tighter. Your main subject is the altar.

4) Control your tonal palette in post, recover those bald highlights.

5) Raise the camera upward to crop the foreground and show the viewer some of the beautiful vaulted ceiling to increase the sense of space and 3D geometry that the architect created. Or make multiple exposure that can be stitched and correct perspective and crop in post. Give yourself choices for composite photos for large interiors like this.

I think this has to be one of the ugliest photos of the fountain at Forsyth Park.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not anti-experimental photography and so forth. This one just doesn't work.

I find this image to be explotation of pre-pubescent children, the implied message to me is clear whether deliberate or not. In short I find your photograph objectionable and disturbing. I guess anything goes here at photo.net.

Their posing and expressions have been learned or taught, probably through exposure to media. 

I would also loose the post processing gimmick, this technique is way over used these days.

Nice image that has the look of a tradition selenium toned print.

As for the silence, maybe the machinery isn't operating! :) Your title is suggestive but doesn't provide the viewer a clear narrative for the image, though slightly ambiguous in this case, titles maybe entice the viewer to linger and experience the photograph a bit longer.

Or to express it another way my visual interpretation and impression doesn't support the title.

Hope this was useful.

Great shot!

On my monitor, which is calibrated and profiled and my web browser is color managed the image looks great. Saturated but not too dark.

This is really a fine photograph. I like!

Very clean and well seen.

Now I think this is very cool!

Good technique for a narcissistic self portrait.

Excellent!

Absolutely marvelous!

Wonderful simple study of form, color, and detail!

What is the weird little insert at the top of the frame for?

The concept and composition is pretty weak, IMO.
