I haven't tried using it yet in any Internationals but I intend to, having incorporated your various suggestions. |

Thanks Ian. I do think the mono conversion is the best but I also quite like the split toning. |

Now I like the curved post as it mirrors the post to the left of the central lit one -they both have more light at the top, so they match well. taking out the right hand curved post leaves an empty space on the right whereas the post provides a stopper to the photo. |

So I assume it isn't in the frame of the original? |

In which case, you've got what you wanted! Ignore us! However that means that in a competition, others might feel the same way -so it depends on what you are going to do with the image. Is it as a record and going to become part of an album or a photobook or will you ever want to use it for comps? |

I suspect that the ISO could have been higher, allowing a bigger depth of focus as that seems to be the bit that we are picking up on. |

Actually I think the original direction is better as we read from left to right so going away to the right hand corner seems the correct way. |

Thanks, I didn't think about blurring the background and I think it does help. |

I think this is similar to Tom's image in April - a foreground piece of machinery and a background out of focus. I find that my eye constantly skips from one to the other as they are both fairly central. Would it have been better if there was a separation between the two which could be possible with a slightly different viewpoint. I'd crop off the small light areas on the right hand frame edge and the very small light area above the shadow (top right).
What was this machinery supposed to do? |

I think this is rather beautiful with the blossom reflecting in the flooded areas between the trees. I don't think there is a problem with the water and I didn't really see that it was still raining. For once I think the contrast is fine! Cutting out the tops of the trees means that it has almost become a pattern picture.
If we had puddles of water between the tree rows we would probably be worrying about the bad weather and what it might do to the roots and the potential harvest. But we normally don't get drought so this much water lying around would be the result of bad weather for a period of time. |

Yes, I like the diagonals and the subject on the left with the tower as a focal point. Should you have included the top of the tower? |

Oh no, I think a model would have been completely wrong! I thought a temple cat lazing in the patch of sunlight or one just skulking in the shadows would have highlighted the emptiness of the area. I obviously got a different impression of the temple than you. |

I thought I'd try cropping but it is difficult because of the shadows and the angle of the walls. I went for a close crop on the sides but left the top of the arch in. However, there is still a small area of lighter stonework at the top left corner. It also changes the perceived shape of the door and arch-it makes it much slimmer looking vertically. So not sure about cropping now. |

In which case, you did what you intended to do. |

I'm not sure why you need such a strong filter effect. Would this not have worked well as a contrasty mono image with the leading lines of the rails and the focal point of the tower? The original colours would also have helped this as there is a red in 3 places. You said you flipped horizontally but the original is the same way -is this an intermediate original? |

I'm not sure about this one. It seems to be tilted slightly to the right though the right hand edge also appears upright, although the left edge is not. Does it need a crop to get rid of the side pillars so we concentrate on the pointed arch and doorway? I also like the vegetation growing up the door so maybe the shot should have been closer in, just showing the frame of the door and the foliage. It's easy to overthink afterwards and wish you'd taken a different angle.! |

In some ways this is like my portrait-we've both gone for a gloomy black image which just a small area of brightness. I think my model would have been just right for posing in your temple.
I do like the single area of light illuminating the post. However does it have enough to keep the attention? I think i wanted a temple cat sitting in the patch of sunlight. If I was good at composites, I could add one! |

Good- I was hoping for a gloomy effect -a sort of slightly dangerous look -someone you wouldn't want to meet on a dark night! However I wondered if I'd gone too black around her especially at the bottom. |
