Brilliant colors, indeed, but the composition can be better.

Good timing.

For this square crop, I would place the rider and the horse more toward the center.

I like the composition and how you place the elements: the outcrop of a building on the top right, the car, and the dominant size of the building on the left.

The blown out sky somewhat ruined it. A blue night shot or dusk/dawn shot will complete this shot.

Definitely the best spot and timing you captured. Overall it's a good framing. I would commend your including so much of the stream if there had been a rock sticking out of the water (or comparable strong foreground).

This one had a good potential. I like how you composed the streets and the structures. The lighting was definitely gorgeous. But it's just too heavy on the right frame; I wish the mass of clouds had been distributed better from left to right frame.

Good decision on emphasizing the sky; that's where the magic happened. What's on the foreground? Houses? Factories? I wish the shapes were more recognizable.

A unique and excellent composition, indeed. The only negative is the reflections on the rocks--it's distracting.

Wow, fantastic layering: foreground, mid-ground (is there such a thing?), and background. The composition just looks pleasing--everything is in the right place.

I must say the foreground is genius. It's occupying a good portion of the frame and yet not blocking what's behind it.

I didn't know I could love cool (as opposed to warm) tone until I saw this image. You nailed the composition, too.

So many things I love about this photo. The overall location, the gorgeous water of the lake, perfect placement of the person and the good-looking boat.

Beautiful lines and colors. Simple and effective.

I don't know the point of showing four photos that look similar to one another. If you tried to show time lapse shots, it's not that effective.

Too little, you said? Well, the magic glow of sunset is clearly not visible on this photo. A graduated neutral density won't work well on this scene, so you might want to learn to take multiple exposures and blend them.

Things don't look sharp either. Did you focus properly?

Yes, I like this better than the other one (http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=11201075)

It's got more dynamic (due to different sizes of those plants with yellow flowers, and of course due to the yellow color)--definitely more compelling.You got the peaks on the right, balanced with the biggest cluster of yellow flowers--smart.

The only thing that could be improved is the sky. It's just too overcast.

And yes, I like the adjusted version better.

What's going above the horizon is a lot more interesting than that below, so move down the horizon.

A weird choice of foreground.

I hate it when seeing a mirrored photo where the photographer draws a line in the middle of the frame and the lower half of the frame is pretty much the copy of the upper half--too predictable.

But your foreground rocks differentiate your photo from the ordinary. Nice touch!

Perfect placement of all elements. Really clever with the title, too.

Just to clarify, my standard of good photo I outlined in previous post doesn't have anything to do with the fact that the place has been shot so many times.

Provided that you come at the right time, it's easy to get that shot which includes that golden glow on the wall. Crazy lines are all over; you just need to pick the right section.

If you didn't sign up with a photographers' tour, do it next time. It's about 2 hours long. On the second hour, tourists are gone and you will have more choices instead of just shooting upward.

For a photo from this place, I expect at least crazy lines or glow to get a fair rating; a uniqueness to get a rating of excellence. This one doesn't have any of those.

This is a superb composition. You picked the right angle and isolation.

I'm bothered with the tips of the trees touching the top edge of the photo. If you want to include them, give some breathing space (padding), otherwise crop them and let the height of the trees become anybody's guess.

See attached, I cropped the top (well, and left and right but that's just because I maintained the image size format). The tall trees' reflection is cut off as well, so now it's somewhat consistent.

Good subject you got, but doesn't mean it will (easily) make a good photo. The upper and lower half seems disjointed; probably because of the uneven lighting?

That diagonal line of bright greenery on the left seems to be too prominent and disruptive.

It needs simplification. Or if you don't want to eliminate any elements, feature one element/section, to the same effect of using a wide angle, a prominent foreground, and the rest sits complimentarily in the backgound. 

Good capture, good topic. Everyone (well, virtually) will just get what the photo tries to tell.

Yup, I like it, good isolation. So much character, so much story.
