a cool place to be, but i don't like the composition very much. another angle would be better.

Loving these contradicting comments...goes to show some things are a matter of opinion!! thanks for the input!!

It is a little blurry for me, but it looks like a very relaxing place to sit.

Hi,

Nice shot - the comp is a little static, i think - colors and overall feel of the shot is pretty good - the area in the rear of the photo is somewhat darker than it needs to be. Nice effort.

Best,
Jon

i'd prefer focus on benches
it's very lovely & peacefull like this
maybe less grass at first plan ?
anyway exactly what i need right now "peace" :D

i'd crop the white thing at top left ...

Wow. Spectacular shot, and thanks all for the great tutorial. I have yet to play with HDR, but this prompts me further to go explore it.

Thanks Craig! If you get stuck feel free to e-mail any questions my way. Lots of good links out there on how to do this properly.

Very pretty but a little too dark for me

Beautiful seascape/sunset shot. HDR seems very popular lately and therefore, for me it quickly looses its appeal. However, landscapes like this really gain from a modest use of the technique.

Great post-processing.

Its a great shot, but i dont like the mirror in the back, or better, i don`t like the man in the mirror.

but the idea is good ;)

Great!!! good work!!! I just said congratulations!!!

RRRRRRR

This is stunning. Well done. I particularly love the texture on the wall behind. It makes the subjects skin look all the more flawless.

damn!!
great composition!

Love the texture and the noise!

I don't care about posting to different topics while there's some reasonable point in it. I like this picture even if the composition looks a bit unbalanced (a wall lamp in the upper left corner would help maybe). You managed to rise a handful of questions in the viewer. Nice job.

It's a nice macro shot. i would have tried a different angle, a little lower.

I agree with Vertigoo, but you can't go wrong with 1 red rose.

The flower is a bit too unsharp. The background just behind the flower is disturbing. Perhaps a different angle would have improved it a lot.

Last day of school.

the design (and colors..) of the room are incredible - king of the kitsch ;)

I like a lot of this one ;)
Simplicity, colors, very good for me.

Wow - it looks like we were visiting the same place...? vazaar.com/photos/id:29871/

Felicidades!

Gracias Andrés, y a todos por los votos.

wow, just like someone ploughed through the standard windows xp background.

Passing time? :)

(sorry, bad joke I couldn't resist.)

2 Blizzard: Don't worry ;) But, my English is Bad, what does it mean?

2 ALL: Thanks for comments and feature my photo. Thanks to all who like this photo!

Great idea and cool concept - but maybe there miss something in the composition - I might suggest : a boiled egg !!
and btw Congrats on another cool feature of you :)

It was just a question of time... Lord have mercy!! You are on a roll!!

Time to love ? :)

The orange/black contrast stands out here. Very nice DOF and great detail.

wow...amazing detail...great color...awesome photo overall!

just one word : amazing

Wow. Great everything. Did you have to do a lot of post processing?

@snaps, not much... just a bit with the "Levels tool" in photoshop

appreciate it Jon

Great perspective and a good HDR.
What really appeals to me is the symmetry between the sky and the grass/leaves with contrasting blue/yellow. Tractor blends nicely with the grass, too.

Thank you nfds. That's one of the things that hit me immediately when i saw the tractor.

Great wide angle perspective. I don't agree with the negative critiques about the use of HDR here. I've seen worse examples :). Nevertheless, I agree that the image would probably equally nice without HDR.

Thanks HubbL.
Once again, it blows my mind how many of you think this is HDR. This image is NOT hdr.

sometimes it about being in the right spot at the right time and you were there! Very cool shot!

Superb wide shot!

I was waiting for this to be featured in panorama as well. Should have been the first. Excellent shot.

Nice one. Did he pose for you? Or are you the beneficiary of a great seat?

Great seat =)
