See what you think...in the end, this is your image "saying" something that has meaning to you...It is a compelling image as it is. |

I really like the moody feel of this. A picky point, but the horizon is not exactly straight. a 1 or 1/2 degree leftward adjustment should fix this without any negative impact on this fine image. I might follow the suggestions made by others, darkening the sky and lightening the rocks so the eye (mine anyway) does not pop to the upper half of the image and then to the rocks. Besides, this rocks are just full on wonderful
"texture". I wish I were there...where is this? |

I really like the colors. The gold and light gray (silver) makes this shimmer like jewelry. Nice 3 dimensions out of two and the framing with the darker columns works very well. Might I suggest a bit of burning-in of the ceiling areas that are rather light. I have mixed feelings about this since the different light adds to the sense of repletion and depth, so just an experimental thought. And, speaking of lights, the ceiling lamps might gain a bit more definition with a bit of burning-in. |

I really like the stars and the sky. Delicious. My interpretation is that this is the visual center (the awesome sky) of interest in this photograph.
I agree with the comment about separating the head of the person from the background. Lightening the bushes a bit would do that. Just another thought is at a strategy might have been to photograph this scene from a lower angle placing the head in the sky instead of the bushes.
Finally, may I suggest burning down the white shirt a bit to reduce the brightness and, therefore, the tendency for the eye to go to it first...its current brightness dominates the scene. You could even give the shirt another color...e.g. tan or something less powerful...of course I am assuming you wanted the sky as your main point of interest and not the person, if not, ignore what I am saying! |

I totally agree with the recommendation to crop out the figure on the far right. This improves the impact of the image...less is more! Thank you. See the new version, above |

This is a very nice improvement. I think it adds power to the image and yet keeps the overall framing and brings the intriguing subject more forward. |

I like the background for several reasons. First, it is not "busy" or distracting from the fore and mid-ground. It sets them off. Second, there is enough information so the viewer knows there are trees there and this added texture and shadows are another layer in a very layered picture. I once taught a Smithsonian course on Ansel Adams. One of the lessons is that his most powerful work was very layered, five or more layers seemed to be the best. You have 5. |

The more I contemplate your image I offer the thought that changing the ratio of framing bricks to the center subject might enhance impact. Can you crop out some of the brick, thereby enlarging the center? I think you will have that nice surround, but enable the viewer to enjoy more of the detail (like the people at the bottom) in the center of the image. |

There is a softness to this image combined with sharpness of the subject overall that I find very pleasing. The old brink makes a nice frame on the antiquity of the scene. I was recently on tour in Italy and this is a photography I would like to have taken. |

I love this picture. The sailboat is a lovely addition that pulls the eye to the back of the picture, but it is the journey there that is the lovely blend of tones, textures, and colors. Well done, |

I agree, having her feet inside the frame would have been a bit better, but they are not in the image. I also agree about the crop and have done so, uploading a second version with this done. To me the image is telling that the boys are in the water and she is not. A secondary thought to the basic fun the kids were having. |
