This one is better than the previous one, however, can you see that the attention is on the boat , not the bridge?

Quick quick, there is a dust spot in the sky...you can take that out (dead pixels). Go to dead centre then across to the right a bit and it is there. (upper aspect of image...high in the sky)

Good one. Well defined, good tonality and a zippy post. Check to make sure you do NOT have a lean to the left.

The composition of this could be improved upon. The boat is hitting the lower margin "ouch"....a bit more negative space. The boat is well shot tho' good exposure, nice contrast.

Amsterdam Bridge

Hi you need to crop at the right to eliminate those branches coming into the frame. The reason for this is because our eyes go there and then our brains try to complete the picture by guessing what it is and then we quickly leave the photo and you don't want that to happen, you want the viewer glued to your image. If you look at the thumbnail print of this photo have a look and it looks mighty fine the way they have cropped it for you as they eliminate the black shadow at the left too and a bit of the sky has been taken down. Play with it, it is a fine photo!

Photo makes me feel lost too! In Picasa you could have tilted this a bit to put it on a diagonal and thereby making it a bit more dynamic. The photo feels static but colourful pops of humanity are nice.

Love this one. It is well composed and to me it looks like one priest is about to punch out the other one, most likely fighting over a woman ! Your rendition in black and white is good with a large gray tonality throughout. The patterns are so Dubrovnik and oh so photogenic. Nice one...top of the shelf.

Sepia has taken us back in time...ahh yes, back to the 40's. It is too bad that the expressions are out of synchronicity as is the body language for it causes the feeling of "dance" and a well-choreographed piece to have a somewhat disjointed feel.

All Together Now

Ahhh, what a place to visit, thank you. You have over contrasted this and you can clearly see black "clipping" or "black outs" in the trees. (it's the opposite of blowouts) You could take your highlights/shadow lever and muck around a bit to see if you could bring out some detail. This was taken on a very bright day and your exposure was difficult. It is a nice photograph and would do well in a magazine

I just viewed your image in high res and was blown over at the artistry of your upload. I quite like that "witnessing" effect you have included. This image whispers to me that there are secrets hidden within. I like the compositional style as well that solid stone to our right and the tree, (full of life) hugging (framing) the distant stones. I also like the tonality of this shot...black to white and much in between. Top of the shelf work both technically and artistically.

A very strong grey bias to this image. Crop is good and pov focuses on the graveyard, nice and sharp too. What a wonderful place to be able to roam around in...full of history I'm guessing.

I like this one for it has a feel of cold, blue...and death! Your contrast is strong, you do have some dust spots in the sky (the bane of all photographers). The photo is sharp, a considered composition is evident and overall a pleasant view, thank you. I wonder if a bit more exposure would brighten this and show the snow as white versus blue?

Rainy days bring forth great colours as it shows here. Your considered visual weight is well thought out with the rooftops weighing out the tall steeple. Your sky is clear of raindrops and this is a really vibrant and delightful shot.

For me, compositionally speaking, I feel a bit more room at the left would have made for a stronger shot, but that is strictly subjective.
