The colors and perspective of the shot are really nice. I think it may have been better if you pointed the camera more skyward to include the top of the first palm tree on the left of the frame. Also I think you should have maybe either zoomed in or walked forward a few meters so that the peach colored building was the first thing on the edge of the left side.

Clever shot. I think it seems a bit tilted to me, however. Also I find the powerlines a bit distracting, I would like it better if they were cloned out. Also it is difficult to tell from this angle that it is a lawyer cow. I don't know what to suggest to include both the cow and the building from a different angle. If the cows are still there I would try moving all around this space to see what you have to work with.

Thanks for sharing some of the Japanese packaging design. It is a wonderful photo. As Catli said, the tilted bottles make the shot a lot more interesting. Please share more shots like this.

Great architechture shot. I like the variation of the light you have captured. Also the POV is very nice. (For once I saw the picture and had to click instead of looking for your name. -Very impressive)

This reminds me of a shot I took of the
Eiffel Tower through a window reflection. That would be a cool theme, momuments seen through reflections, too bad mine is on TrekLens and not TE.

I am pretty sure that this bridge was in the film, "A la folie, pas du tout" with Audrey Tautou. I am a super fan of her work and try to take photos of everywhere so goes in films. Could you tell me what else this is near?

The point of view is very nice. I like that we have the sense of looking down on everything happening. I do, however, prefer you other shot of this market. This one is almost overwhelming with so much stuff going on. But most importantly I think it is a matter of perspective and composition. The very strong diagonal lines of your other shot almost form a triangle and the resulting compostion is very powerful. This shot doesn't seem to have one main focal point so the viewer wanders a bit aimlessly around the frame.

I love the dark background. It really helps draw the focus to the frog. The curved lines of the leaves add some nice motion to the composition. The minimalist quality is very nice as well.

Great idea taking the roofs. I like the cropping as well. Too bad you couldn't have cropped off the cement base of the two on the left withouth loosing the roofs on the right.

As other people have said, the light really makes this a powerful shot. It was taken at really the perfect time of day. Also the snow and darkness of the trees is a nice contrast to the warm color of the stones with the lighting on them. Ebbe made a suggestion of cropping a bit of the left, I know for sure you shouldn't crop on the right because the lighting on that part of the tree plus the way you have it framing the ruin is perfect. Cropping on the left, depending on where you do it could really give the photo an entirely different feeling. If you crop about a quarter of the frame on the left, the result is much different from what you have now and makes the sky seem to balance out the trees more. But it is up to you to decide, Don't be affraid to have a square shaped photo if it helps the overall composition.
