26 Nov 18 Comment The photo shows a nice interaction between the interesting fountain and the trees in the background. Unfortunately, the buildings in the background are distracting; but you might try to clone them with some leaves. I would have preferred that the image shows the fountain fully symmetric, with its center piece perfectly in front of the photographer. Also, it seems that the image needs further straightening, since it looks slightly tilted to the right.

26 Nov 18 Comment Nice capture of the reflections, with the spire of the church breaking the pattern. Since the main subject is the reflection on the glass buildings, I wonder how much of the church's bottom you need to keep the contrast between the buildings and the church. Cropping up to the black blocks on the right you would eliminate the distracting sign and the tree on the left (you would need to clone part of the leaves, anyway).‒ Nov 10th
26 Nov 18 Comment It is indeed a surprise to find the mittens reflected in water. The colors are subtle, and the reflection is crisp. It's a pity that you cut-off the right mitten, since you could have set the lens at a shorter length (28mm?) or back up a little. As it is now, I would suggest cropping from the right, so only one mitten shows. I would also crop something from the bottom, and make the image perfectly symmetric. Nov 10th
26 Nov 18 Comment I like the way the barn is covered by the vegetation. It really conveys a feeling of abandonment, which is highlighted by the B&W version. I don't mind the tree on the left, since it contributes to the overall mood and let you position the barn off-center. If I had to suggest something, it is to clone with some leaves the white of the sky above the top of the barn. Nov 10th
26 Nov 18 Comment A very well captured beautiful interior. I would go definitively for the horizontal, and I don't think that you need to do anything else in terms of tones and lighting. There is only one issue that disturbs me, and this is the cutting-off of the first ceiling beam. I noticed that in the original you have it full (with a tiny amount of glass on top), but you lost it when straightening the image. Any chance to get it back? Nov 10th
26 Nov 18 Comment A nice scene that combines very well the houses, the people, and the wet street. I wouldn't change anything in terms of composition or colors. There is only one issue that got my attention: the cloudy sky seems to have a halo where it touches the houses. Did you do any post-processing and got inadvertently this artifact, or was this what the camera captured? In any case, I would get rid of the halo. Nov 10th
