Very nice lighting, detail and sharpness. I like the photo. I just wish the focus and lighting would have highligted the center point of interest more by itself. I think this would have been a 7 thru and thru then for sure. Nice work...

Nice capture and eye on this one. I love the straight line of three there not something you find in nature much. I like the use of DOF here too. Well done!

Wow, another wonderful detailed and sharp image with great compostition! I love the fly on the back that is a great capture! I'm curious and would love to hear how you are getting such sharp detail with a 2.1 megapixel camera? Or is this one more then that? Or is it your glass? Well outstanding work and thanks for any info...

Michael, I think your on the money there that would have been a much stronger image as I look at it cropped like that.

Simplistic confusion with nothing complicated intended but something to grab the eye for a moment. It was rotated during the shoot in the camera rather then on the desktop. I felt it helped this moment in time. Thanks for the feedback Luca!

The balloon needed to be a bit sharper in my opinion and I would have liked to see it cropped a bit more. Nice capture with the moon and baloon though. That is a very interesting element. My guess it was getting late and you had little light from what you stated above. Over the moon would have been really cool; I agree. Nice moment and capture though.

Nice use of DOF. I like the detail. I don't like the composition and lighting as much as the detail and DOF. It is a nice capture though. I like to see things cropped tighter when possible and if it fits but that is more emotional appeal I think. Nice job! The hot spots of lighting could be in a better location to make it stronger in my opinion. I also know uncontrolled subjects are not easy to make the perfect image all the time either!!! So NICE capture and thanks for sharing the image to view.

Nice lighting. There are a few things I may have tried different with this image. I think it's a bit to busy. I may have moved in closer on one of the buildings, if possible. Another possibility I might have tried is using the fauna and trees or head stones as stronger leading elements to focus on the lighting and buildings. Or maybe even made them competing elements for the subject it self. Ideas any way, I hope they are possibly useful ones.

Bravo, excellent capture. The lighting is very nice and brings out some nice detail. I really like the moment you caught with the two in the background looking the other way and the one in front almost proudly posing for the picture. The grass and sand just a bit in front and back bring nice depth to the image for me. Very sharp, like the use of DOF. I must say you brought new meaning to the Pink Flamingo for me, I won't just thing of them in someones yard any more

I think I should have cropped this one right at the top of the leaf and it would have been a much stronger image.

Don't mean to be harsh! I just want to give my honest opinion and that is what it is though an opinion. I don't really like this image. I think the subject matter has potential and is interesting. I like the depth feeling I get and the leading lines into that depth. I think you did a great job holding the camera steady for 1/60 of a second; I think that may of left motion in the trees though. My eye is fighting with what is the main subject or focal point of the image. Is it the boardwalk, the tunnel or the tourists far off. The contrast and latitude of lighting appears to high and some of your highlights appear washed out like in the boardwalk, That could be my monitor though, digital is hard to judge sometimes.
OK, well like I said just an opinion and who knows, especially when my wife just walked by and said ohh NICE SHOT. Now she has me second guessing my own opinion.

Nice image. What I like about it I like the composition the subject matter. It looks like you used a golden third rule diagnaly, vertically and horizontal. Things that I may have changed: The lighting looks fairly even(not that this is bad) a little hot in the foreground. Did you use a flash fill on this? If you did I may have went with the natural lighting. I would have cropped it a little different myself with the top rock ledge removed. I think it's a bit stronger that way. Hope you don't mind I cropped it in the attachment here to show what I mean. Nice image though. I find it hard to judge with the imagery in lowres if it's tack sharp from front to back. Nice work and I know it's so easy to make these suggestions from a seat at my computer I wasn't there with mosquitoes biting and wind blowing etc... just food for thought and ideas... Keep up the good work!

Love what you did here. The perspective is great and the whole image appeals to me. Great balance and symetry in the image along with a nice perspective. I like the lighting too, it seems to give more mood to the image. The water appears sharp and pulls you right throught the image and back, like it should, or I think your intention was. I would certainly hang this one on my wall. NICE Job!
