71	Dec 25	Comment	I'm sure I'm an oddball, but I actually like the darker, original version better. When I click on it, the lights seem to come alive as if they are twinkling. I don't get this sense with the lighter version. I also think the mountains at the back pull the eye away from the former monastery. My suggestion would be to crop more -- just to the left of the river and that tall steeple on the distant hillside. And then don't lighten as much. I think this would focus more attention on the town and the beautiful lights -- almost magical!	Dec 2nd
71	Dec 25	Comment	The bright red phone booth makes this image pop. However, I think it's very static. Your note tells about how popular this place is. I think it would have helped the photo by giving it some life -- people dining at the tables, maybe coaxing two or three to line up at the phone, as if waiting to make a call. If it's a favorite place for locals and visitors, I think you should show locals and visitors. Otherwise, it looks shut.	Dec 2nd
71	Dec 25	Comment	This definitely looks like a "heavenly" scene! A couple of suggestions: The color of the water in the waterfall looks unnatural -- almost like they've put a blue dye in the water. However, in my opinion, the main problem with the composition is that there are too many focal points. I.e. what are we supposed to be looking at? The waterfall on the left, the rock in the middle and the little structure on the right all compete for attention. My eyes keep going from one to the other, without a clear definition of the subject. Maybe if you had been able to move around more, pick one object at the subject and then use the other two as accents.	Dec 2nd
71	Dec 25	Comment	Great capture of the fall colors and cypress trees. Excellent composition. The issue, as I see it, is that the light isn't balanced. You have a darker area on the right and a very bright area on the left. The bright area immediately attracts the eye, away from the gorgeous trees in the center of the image. A couple of options: You can darken the left to make it more in balance. Or you could crop off the left to focus mainly on the trees in the center. Both options are easy fixes, but I do think whatever you do you need to dampen the distracting brightness on the left.	Dec 2nd
