Using a graduated neutral density so you can bring out more detail from the cliff face would help in my view. there is too much nearly featurelss dark at the bottom.

Jaroca - I like the folds in the backdrop beneath your model, and the usual photo criteria such as sharpness are met. I do find a little fault with the black marks on her right leg - they are a distraction for me. Its not a picture I'd hang on my wall - but that is a matter of tast.
Thanks for sharing.

Kathryn - you have done well with regard to clarity, noise reduction and sharpness. It would be interesting to know things like camera, iso, raw vs jpeg, tripod, lens, etc. Of course those are photographer type of questions. With regard to image quality I like the pose on her toes with the mirrored shadows, and the fact that the background is dark enough to that only the dancer calls to the eye.
i must admit I don't like big signatures - to me they are...

Sunset photos are so iconic that they need something unique to make them stand out. I don't mind the trees silhouetted by the sun. More clouds are needed to make it a truly great sunset photo, but it is certainly enjoyable, and would be a pleasant addition to a wall. hanks for sharing.

Sekretar - for what it is worth I find the statue atop the pedastel on the left to be a distraction rather than contributing to the composition. For me, cropping of that part of the image would enhance it. the color and sharpness of the domes is great, and is what carries the image.
thanks for sharing.

An interesting photo. I can see why B and W. I would like it a little darker and more contrasty. Perhaps a little less sea in the foreground as well. Thanks for sharing.

Tom - my preference would be to eliminate or minimize the terraces in the lower left corner. They are a distraction to me. Darkening the image would add to the sense of mystery as well. I'm not fan of watermarks either, but that is certainly a personal decision.
Thanks for sharing, and congratulations on being able to visit such a fascinating place.

Rick - an interesting image, taking advantage of the convex shape of the hub cap. Somehow the drab black of the tire takes something from the image. You need a white sidewall tire. It begs for a repitition with a fisheye lens.
Thanks for sharing.

Jan - I thought you had mirrored the image in photoshop, but now I see that it isn't an exact mirroring suggesting a bit of difference in focus on the mirror image or some such thing. Using a half heart shaped colar would turn it into a clever valentine.
Creative and thanks for sharing.

Anastasia - the blurred background is nice, but the image needs more depth of field. Stopping down from 5.6 probably would have been workable since the 5.6 gave you a 1/1000 shutter speed. Basically I think you need more of the wing wtructure to be sharp.
Thanks for sharing.

Doug - In y opinion this is a great use of a fisheye. The colors, as well as the bird (?spoonbill) flying into the frame add richness and interest. Thanks for sharing.

iLaria - for me what is interesting in this image is the horse's head next to the starburst, The castellated wall on the right, and Cosimo's head are a distraction for me. I would also agree that the horse's head isn't quite sharp - otherwise I's say just crop down to the horse's head and the starburst.
Thanks for sharing

Mike - I find the image interesting. I am only guessing, but it looks like a zoom blurr. Some of the white lines at the 9:00 position are distracting. Certainly worth sharing.

Carlo I like the composition and the way the sun's rays present over the top of the rocky headland. I would like to se more detail both in the sand and of the headland. The sky and clouds are very well presented.

Masoud - with all the sheep or goats in the foreground out of focus, and even the image of the man not sharp it is hard to get excited. Cropping off the lower half helps a bit in my view, but still the man is not well shown.
Thanks for sharing.
