Frankly, I don't understand the ratings. The photo is excellent. I like the green/blue/copper colours, composition with the branches and misty feeling.

Wonderful and very painterly. I like the colours, textures and her attire. The timing is almost excellent btw.

IMHO the brightening of the face and darkening around is excessive. The portrait is excellent nonetheless.

This has a bit of a plastic feel to it, and the composition with the foreground benches looking against the ocean is a bit odd, but the composition is effective anyway and I like the pastel colours and original shapes.

Beautiful view.

What city is this? :)

Very beautiful image.

Where is this? Better in colour, btw :)

Great, as usual.

Impressive. How long was the exposure?

How nice to be able to see the b/w and colour versions of the same image. In this one I take the B/W, not by far though. The shapes and textures of the dunes look excellent, and so does the sun centred and the people (agree with Leslie, the position is excellent).

I disagree about the birds. It's an excellent landscape, but that's because of the sea, ships and sky. To me the birds on the left (especially the leftmost) feel a bit out of place in the image, somehow not fitting with the rest. I see an easy fix, though, which would be a square format crop.

To me it's the clouds the most enjoyable part of the image. The plane feels a bit alien, but obviously fits compositionally.

Impressive clouds. Excellent as usual.

The mountains always have their charm and you have captured it well here. I like the diversity of elements in the image.
