I agree with all points above but one I might add is, it'd be nice to see a very subtle gradient in the sky to a tiny bit of depth, just a thought :)

I agree with oz_sprog that you should try to create a sense of depth in this image, which may add more interest and retain the viewer's eye a bit longer. Otherwise it is excellent.

I must be the dissenting voice. I would have wanted more contrast with a darker sky - and maybe a star in the lower left strong point?
But still, I like it as it is....

Very nice, though I must agree that I wonder how it would look with a bit of a darker sky. But still very nice.

Just superb!

An interesting photo. I would maybe play with curves in photoshop a bit more to bring out the various textures in the image.

Terrific perspective on this shot. The curve of the stairs leads the eye through the frame. I do think the exposure is slightly off as the highlights are too bright. I think this could easily be fixed though as it's not too bad. If you work with Photoshop try using the shadow/highlight adjustment tool. Or if you shoot in Raw, adjust the exposure in raw processing so the highlights are correct, and then use curves to open up the shadows. In either case, with a bit of adjustments this would be a really terrific shot. Great textures in the stone work.

I agree, you can adjust the highlights and brightness to make this more interesting.

I agree with the above critiques. There is a 'wear' of time to these stairs that is unique and makes this photo good, but has potential to be awesome.

I'm agree with u Sher but still nothing special in ur shot....:(

Sorry you feel that way Pi-Production. Could you offer some constructive criticism then?

Hi Sher,
So for ur pic as u said :
"Not cropped" - For this we can do nothing (from the original).

"No work done in Photoshop" - For this we can change the colors of the sky like "gradient" and if it's me I want to see the "blue" of ur sky ;)

Cheers.Eric

Eric..How do I do "gradient" work?

I'm not agree, I think this is a good idea to put only a thin peace of land. Add more land will not add anything to the picture but an useless black area, we don't need to see it as we can easily imagine it.
The shape and the color of the clouds are great.

(how did you put the picture in two topics ?)

wow - now that is awesome!

wow, a little bit surreal. i like it!

Wow! This is like something out of a dream. Love it!

I'm gonna have to say wow too. ;)

freaky clouds! It looks like the sky is about to fall down ;-)

Great catch. Great for the topic. I wish there was a little more PP to get the color to stand out more. Nothing extreme like some local contrast...

Thanks for the comments. I have not prossessed this at all and am not a photoshop guru to say the least. Anyone want to give me a quick guide to how to improve on Photoshop. Would be muchly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

fantastic shot. Same comments as everyone else though, top feathers and a little too dark.

Great shot, but I agree with the others - pity the wing tip was cut off. It may very well be worthwhile to consider photoshop, as it would not be too hard to clone in the wing and stretch the top of the frame.

my favourite bird and a great capture, well framed

Very nice colours and composition. Pity it wasn't in focus - was that the effect you were trying for?

i loved the thumbnail, but the full image disappoints. i agree with the above comment...if it'd been in focus, it would have been a very nice image, esp keeping the rough texture in mind....the interplay of light & colours is very interesting though

IMHO needs some more details...not clear where the viewer should concentrate its attention..some more shapes are needed.

I would like to disagree with Chaba's comment. I think it is clear that the white circles are the center of attention. I think the picture is very interesting, as I keep on looking at it and can't work out what it is of... However, I would have preferred if the image was a bit sharper.

special view, interesting!

blury view, blury mind and blury photography.
My problem on this image is that I cannot stop on an event, everything is interesting or non-interesting.
It's hard to stay a long time to watch it, maybe with on point, coloured, neat or other could enhance your work.

I really like the execution of this photo. Have you tried cropping the top slightly?

Wow the sky is so beautifull
