Great shot ... has a nice antiquated feel to it, like that of a bygone era. the filtered sunlight looks great and you've done an excellent job of not losing alot of detail with the high contrast in the scene. it looks a little washed out, could be from the scanning? I'd bring up the saturation levels a few notches in PS.

Nice work ... light streaks help to distract from the unsightly wires etc, in fact helps turn something ugly into a feature. very nice creative choice. very reminicent of phnom penh. excellent work.

Awesome shot. I like how the composition of the shot is divided up by diagonal colours and lines making this almost abstract. the black and white herds provide a spectacular contrast on the landscape too.

Fantastic shot. so much vitality and life, very dynamic. Great choice of DOF and composition. a very suiting tribute to the good ol days.

extraordinary photo. not sure what to think, she looks crazed! - its a super capture though, DOF, Comp are perfect for this shot.

Very nice shot (a little small), good use of the polariser. The whisps of cloud stand out nicely and shot is nicely exposed to pick out the red colouring in the rocks. I also like the slight blur in the water with the slow-ish shutter speed. well done.

Welcome to TE Alon, Great first entry, very atmospheric. Good composition and mood too. The photo is not quite sharp (possibly because you have reduced its size for the Net - most people on here will use an unsharp mask filter to correct this) I dont have PS in work, but I will post a workshop later from home.

Ha - WOW, I tried to take this exact same shot (I rushed it though and totally screwed it up!!) - Needless to say, yours is alot better than my effort (which I'm now regreting). Difficult execution here (high polarity), but you've made a good effort. The shot might be a little sharper and perhaps is slightly over exposed (the colours are a little washed) Is it a scan? Still, this is a lovely photo which seems to capture a uniqueness of this charming town.

Stand out shot in Thumb Nail, a little let-down blown up. I like the idea of the blurred traffic, perhaps a flash may have frozen your subjects a little more. Good effort and observation.
