This photo would make a fine tarot card for The Hermit. :)

Neat effect!

Is this a silhouette or a shadow? ;)

I can almost imagine being there. :)

There's some really nasty jpg artifacts -- even in the full view.

Very crisp, clean, and minimalistic. I think maybe taking the border off would've made it even better -- it might've just popped out of the page without it.

Good shot -- but it's a bit oversharpened (you can see it up close in the halo around the boat, people, and trees). But actually what tipped me off to it is the water somehow... it just doesn't look quite right.

It's a lovely and very engaging shot -- love the way the kids are in the air. But there's some real odd color-banding in the sky -- I wonder if you gave it a bit too much contrast when you edited it?

Good shot -- I'd like to see the sky a bit lighter though, for more of a contrast.

What is the ball at the top? Looks like a punch hole ore something -- and really detracts from the overall photo.

Straightening out the horizon would make this a fine shot.

Unfortunately, the focus on the curtains is more clean than that on the girl -- otherwise it would be a very nice photo.

It's a very nice shot, but the horizon tilts about 20 degrees to the right and really throws it. I think it would be much better if you straightened the whole photo on the horizon of the water (yes, I know the people in it won't be straight -- but the eye expects the horizon to be straight.

Beautiful sky -- but really hard to see the skyline -- maybe it needs a bit more contrast?

Beautiful!

It probably could be a very good photo -- but the sky's too dark. Have you ever used a levels adjustment on this? or curves? I think it would great benefit from either. Or any kind of contrast adjustment that lightened the sky.

Very pretty (I can see a bit of the sunset reflecting in the water), but it's a bit noisy (which is pretty inevitable in such a low light condition). There's a plug-in (and also standalone program) called Neat Image with deals with this problem REALLY well.

Nice starburst effect with the sun.

Gorgeous sky and silhouettes. There are some things (buildings? chimneys?) sticking up in the lower left and they're distracting. I wonder how this scene would look with a lot of the left and right cropped out to make it taller than it is wide (portrait perspective).

Really great colors.

I really like the combination of the washed-out sky, the dark arch, and the lovely light on the stones. A thought: I don't know if you have photoshop (or PS Elements), but using the white eyedropper in the levels dialog box would have made your sky perfectly white -- just like the background to this page. Then, if you dispensed with the border, you might have a really neat effect of the scene seeming to come up straight off the page.

Well done.

Great! The horizon seems to tilt a bit to the right -- straightening it would help, I think (even if it's not straight in reality).

OMG! I really wondered how you got that close! I was relieved to read it was a statue. ;)

This is really great but for the power lines in the background. (Clone 'em out and sell it as a stock photo!)
