Your photo gives me a kind of sacral feeling, although I`m not a very religious person. Apart from that feeling, I don`t get the grip of this, or of you, hiding there behind something. But anything that makes me more religious, must be a good thing....

If it had been mine, I may have wanted to cut it a bit at bottom; not much, 1-2 centimeters. Otherwise fine, I like the clarity and sharply drawn contours of the buildings. Nice clouds, a good contrast to the darkness below. They seem to have been blurred a bit, but that`s fine with me.

The door to some secret garden ? Could have been nicer. The grass inside the garden has turned blue, and I would have left out the part where we see the sky. The rest is not technically very good either, but your does have some atmosphere...

Quite nice, but two things: I would have wanted the background to be calmer, the reflections in the water disturb med a bit. I would also have prefered the girl to be less aware of the photographer, as it is now her face reveals that she is very much aware of being photogrephed.

I see that you mention the reason for the crop being so tight. Still I think you could have avoided that, by cloning some color from the wall on both sides, for example. You have also cut the top, for some reason.
Apart from this, I love the colours; old things like this, with paint flaking off, are really a find for photographers.

I would have preferred to see this in B/W, otherwise I like it somewhat. We see only the lower part of the child`s body ( a boy, probably), but with his feet firmly planted on the ground like this, I would guess that the rest of his body is quite proudly posed, a young child proud of his bike, and what he can do with it. So quite interesting, since it leaves much to o0ns`s imagination.

Father and daughter having a great time together. The expression of joy and happiness and the girl`s face, and the proud face of her father, which is also expressing joy on his daughte`s behalf, are enough to earn your photo a couple of thumbs. I also find joy in the colours behind them, but I am a bit distracted by the dark thing just behind the father`s head ( another head ? ), and also by the yellow stuff at bottom of picture.

Sweet and romantic cliche, and as a cliche it functions enough to deserve one thumb. The horizon is tilting, however, and as far as cliches go, this is almost over the top. But Ok, I very reluctantly give you a tiny thumb.

Original idea, but in my opinion not a particularly good idea. The way I would have preferred to see this shot is skaters more evenly distributed all over the ice, all fairly dark/ with good contrast against the white ice. And only ice, no sight of the `"geography" outside the skating rink.

Like stepping into a hollywood movie I have seen innumerable times, therefore the scene, to me, lacks originality, although it is quite pretty. I see cars, so I think I`ll settle for "Paris, Texas". Anyone else who has seen it ?
Like the way you have split up sky versus ground, though. Colours a bit lame..

smart. almost as if the branch mob to the left are crawling threateningly towards the lone branch-guy, who is putting his hands to surrender. No ? Well. at least thst was what I get out of thid photo, which is otherwise a pleasant sight, with its bluegreyish velvet look. Nice beach, nice horizon.

Weird little hut; not without a certain charm. You have placed it more or less "correctly" in the frame, and that seems to be an ok position. Bright light, which I would have subdued a bit, although you say the light is natural.
Fair enough.

I like it a lot. The blue illumination gives the building an almost eerie look, but also a fairy tale look, in other words, a perfect building for a dark and gloomy story....
The snow you mention looks more like rain to me, but anyhow; the effect is quite striking.

Very sweet situation and also very sweet baby-chimp. The cropping of the mother`s body seems a bit haphazard; I would at least have liked to see the whole hand, but apart from that this is a pleasure to look at, and the exposure looks perfect

HDR , or at least that is what it looks like. To me the only redeeming feature of HDR are the details that result from this "technique". Such details are not always needed in a photo, but here, where the church and its architecture are the themes, it`s nice to see a sharp rendering. So plus for great sharpness that allows the viewers to study the church thoroughly, apart from that this is not my kind of photo.
regards. Fred
