Lovely scenery with pastel colours. Well captured and composed.

I love this fine long perspective created by all those lines and I like the strong shadows and the textures. The composition looks perfect to me.

Lovely composition. The subject and the fog makes the scene dream-line. I love that boat (I'm a sailing enthusiast myself). The hull has classic lines while the schooner rigging with no jib is quite unusual. I'd like to know more about her...

A very evocative image and a powerful composition. In the times of film photography this was called "grain" (which is a much nicer term) and it was considered an embellishment.

I like the editing, it makes it look like an old print and suits the subject. Furthermore it highlights the structure and textures of those stones walls.

Splendid city, splendid blue hour. Tones, lights and reflections make the scene enchanting. Being a sailing enthusiast I'm fond of harbours and marinas and surely this one is most interesting. Long ago, when I was on holidays in Switzerland, I met an old lady who lived here... I have always wished to visit this city... Thank you for your encouragement. I think I need it (:-) because this site structure is so hard to manage. You never find anything! (:-) Well I guess I need some time to be accustomed to it... By the way they never thought to refurbish the site layout and functioning?

You went do far to the Tierra del Fuego to take this wonderful image... A masterful composition and a lovely and unique environment.

Wonderful rocks and gorgeous sky. If I ever will sail to Greece with my boat I'll watch out for them!

I love those roots and the golden light which matches the icons of the golden Buddhas.

Very atmospheric composition for this famous rock. The cyclist and the fog make it quite unique.

Quite a peculiar composition with all those lines and lovely tones and reflections. The ripples on the sea are so appealing!

Fabulous seascape with a strong lovely atmosphere. Much in my taste and genre. (I'll post later something similar).

A very beautiful and peculiar place and a masterful composition and B&W. Is it in Portugal?

A lovely reflection and composition, very evocative and artistic. Did you try to turn it upside down so that it looks as a normal sight? I think that the effect will be nicer.

Very good composition. the causeway leads the eye towards the house creating a strong sense of depth and space.

Good composition and a very evocative image with a special mood.

Carolina, Carolina, chissà quante teste hai fatto cadere... (:-) Bellissimo e simpaticissimo ritratto. Complimenti.

Bellissimo ritratto. ottima gestione della luce. Sei proprio un professionista! Grazie del benvenuto (Ma c'è un modo di rispodere ai commenti ricevuti qui?)

I like this scene. It looks like they are waiting for something to happen, one fancies there is a vast panorama beyond the wall and this create a sense of expectancy. I also like the soft tones which create a almost intimate mood (which is lost in the B&W version.

What a scene you have captured! The pose and expression of the animal at right is fantastic and so human and the cropping is perfect. I like also the light and the textures of the stones and furs (which match each others).

Wonderful scenery and composition. I'm fond of lighthouses and this one is really cosy. The lane with the people create a sense of perspective and of strong identification and expectation. I like how the light creates a strong contrast. (I must thank you for your interesting and useful critique to my photo. Not being able to find a way to answer individually to each critique I added a comment to the photo, answering your observations).

I'm usually a person who likes to include the basement of statues, monuments etc., because it seems more real to me. But I acknowledge that it is a very personal bias. here I'd have done a step back and included even a small portion of the pavement. It looks too tightly cropped to me... (:-)

No, I don't think I would have done it differently, the stupa and the statue match each others and create a kind of diagonal and that stone in foreground at right contributes to a fine depth. I like the soft light and tones (which I presume are a peculiarity of the place and hour). A fine travel photo. (I must thank you for your interesting critique to my photo. I have answered it adding a comment there because I could not find a way to reply individually to your critique).

I want to thank all of you who left a comment here. I could not find a way to reply to each one of you individually (it seems there is no reply button under the critique). To Jim: Yes, I know what you mean and actually I have taken another photo that way. I was not sure though which composition was more effective. Here I like how the rail lead the eye towards the distant cape and also the textures of the stones in the pavement. To David "more to the right and moved that railing out of the center of the frame, thus showing less of the platform that way." yes that could be a possibility. Here I chose deliberately that POV to have the rail at right in diagonal. To Larry: "The question is what thematic element the stone platform and railing have for the image?" Please read my answer to Jim.
