		from lombardo/Raphael (568) on August 17, 2008 2:01:10 PM CDT (2) 2+TU The photo is very nice and deserves at least a 2TU (IMHO). However I would crop the flowers as they are distracting and I would have loved to see o bit more of the street under the left door. Colors are great and as the two persons you can see inside the restaurant. Ciao Reply  Show ratings  From dongli/Dong (10,717) on August 17, 2008 8:55:12 PM CDT Ciao Raphael. It looks like that it is a consensus for a different crop. I will try that. Thanks for looking. Reply

I left them in because they match up with the flowers on the window so well. Thanks for the comments. Regard Reply

The cut flowers on the left should have been fully included or excluded & I think the door step on the right should have a little space under it. Regards, Ian.

Thank you for your comments. Regards Reply

The well done lighting gives beautiful colours. I like it well. Reply  Show ratings  From dongli/Dong (10,717) on August 16, 2008 2:23:21 PM CDT Thanks Jan. I am glad that you like it. Reply
		from macca74/Maccabruno (2,125) on August 16, 2008 12:43:46 AM CDT (2) Hi Dong - nice house, unusual door, vibrant colours but yes, definitely in need of some straightening, you could easily sort it by using the skew tool in PS, would make this shot much better - kind regards, Alex Reply  Show ratings  From dongli/Dong (10,717) on August 16, 2008 1:10:22 AM CDT Hi Alex, thanks for the comments. I dont quite understand the place that is " in need of some straightening". Yes, the street is slanted to the right. How do I go about straightening with the skew tool? Thank you for your suggestion.

		from wii/Barry (202) on August 16, 2008 12:40:33 AM CDT (3) I'm going to be a little demanding on this one. I wish the table inside had been standing outside under the window and the door shut. I like the colors and details, but the area under the window is too empty and the open door doesn't provide a clear view of what is inside and would be better of closed. Reply  Show ratings  From dongli/Dong (10,717) on August 16, 2008 1:03:28 AM CDT Barry, thank you for the comments and suggestion. I know what you mean here. Unfortunately, this is a busy little eatery near the central square of Monteregioni in Italy. The owners wouldn't be very happy if I move their table and close their door. So I have to live with what they have. Reply
