It is a really worthwhile historical image to have and the content is totally original so to me that's worth something. I do agree the machine needs to pop out more from the foliage so playing around with some contrast controls could be beneficial. In your second attempt the 'popping out' is overcooked but Stuart's edit, however so crude, is rather good and leads in the right direction. Darkening the foreground & triangular patch of sky near the left corner MAY also help with emphasizing the subject so that could be worth exploring. |

Interesting abstract well spotted and certainly worthy of a shot as the subject matter has a lot of impact especially with the black hole contrasting with the rest of the image. I agree with John on the sharpness and bright highlites. I cant help but wonder if stepping back a bit to include the tips of the three shards plus some space beyond would be an improvement to the composition as I feel the subject is a little crowded in the frame. |

I concur with everything Stuart & John have said especially the drink being fully included. Lighting is exquisite and the shoes on a lower ledge adds to a strong story. I love the way you have composed this with a contrast of vertical & horizontal masonry and subject placement off to the side framed by the small alcove behind her. It is a fantastic image but I think you could make it better by cropping out the two light verticals at the top far left as this would delete a distraction, simplify and place even greater impact on the young lady. I have taken the liberty. What do you think? |

Sharp and nicely detailed with plenty of tones and contrast. I like the composition with the steps leading up and into the image and the people providing depth and scale. The only suggestion I have is to correct the perspective of the building on the left if that is possible. Whatever tweaking you did in selectively adjusting tones and textures has worked wonderfully well. |

Not much in the change of angle. I have included the original unedited version to show you what I started with. |

I agree with Stuart. If you made the waterline behind the bridge true horizontal the bridge slope would take care of itself and if you went panorama, the bridge would have more impact. This would still leave enough rocky shore on the right for us viewers to get the picture. The sky could do with some darkening especially the highlites. |

I note the high ISO and so assume the light was not ideal. Given that, you have done a good job to expose correctly on the highlights as it is the neck feathers & head area which really contrast with the rest of the image so that it becomes a strong focal point with great impact. It is where the viewer's eye lands straight away and stays there and so noise and or any other imperfections are insignificant. |
