Lovely, and a beautiful place, visited there many years ago.

Very nice.

Very nice. Scenes like this are why I like living far away from cities

Love this one - well done !

Amazing Shot. I too was trying something similar.

well done

My hat off to you, author!

wonderful :O

what a beautiful view

good shot!

Great picture and concept.

Very nice! I like the geometry throughout. The shadow adds a lot and so does the fact that the sky is cloudless. I also like how the windows almost create one of those optical illusions. GL

stunning

good shot

This is a beautiful picture, nice job!

great composition, exposure and focus. Love how the vertical lines bring u into the castle.

It's a pity there weren't clouds; they would have made the sky look much more interesting. Nice shot anyway!

Very nice... I like the reflection

Yes, look at WHAT you're learning about Pompei. The loaf of bread at the top is very appropriate.

Pretty scary dinosaur

Lol author - in my view, the real victory is being able to accept constructive criticism for what is and taking a little something away from it. That makes you a winner already

Lovely Composition!!!

congratulations, very beautiful picture, greetings

looks better in High Res

Watch it....the Mods will be on to you soon....

Congratulations, good job

Well done on your attempt. Other than the distracting light, the background is a little busy - I spent longer trying to make out the cigarette in the test tube in the background (reminds me of a year 9 science experiment). Anyway, in my opinion the simple backgrounds work best.

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

WB > White Balance

Congrats on 1st Place.

Congrats on 1st Place, well deserved

sorry i'm new in photography can you tell me what is WB mode?

Thanks, you have certainly got plenty of colour.

To much processing, IMO, makes it look like a drawing.

You could try again.

Too much negative space, especially on the left.

the light on the left (candle) is distracting a little bit,
but for the whole theme, very inspiring setup

Good shot but i think you need to check your WB mode

Very cool... looks like it was taken on some far off planet or something

Very beautiful! Love the motion blur on the wheel!

very very good

very striking and beautiful light

That's ok... I love the lighting on this shot. This is SO picturesque! What a lovely place to spend the afternoon.

Wonderful catch, composition enhances the mood of the picture. Breathtaking. Good luck!

I think even I, when I walk

sharp shot, nice .

Thank you for the clarification. I love learnin new stuff.

Lovely atmosphere, but I can feel a headache coming on.
