Jo, remarkable. This is beautiful yet somewhat unsettling. I've had vacatons like that. Great job.

Thanks Ron, that's exactly what I was going for.:)

Sorry, but I don't really like the heavy post-processing. Selective saturation is a good idea and works pretty well, except perhaps on the chimney where it looks pretty weird, but the relief effect is a bit too unsettling to my eye...

No need to be sorry. I appreciate the feedback. I was debating on the chimney myself and whether the red was a bit to saturated. :)

the red i think is so much saturated, and i would preferred the sky in B&W too, not only the red in the chimney, is even on the faces of the people and it seems so unreal, but i like the overall effect.

Lovely work with selective saturation Jo. Somehow the entirety of the photo is too "busy" for me. The sky or the buildings would have made a great photo all by themselves. All together my eye wanders from grass, to buildings, to sky, to brilliant yellows and never is quite sure where to settle.

An amazing looking place - I presume it's by the sea with some pleasant views in the other direction?
Overall a startling effect - the yellow (umbrellas) drags the eye into the frame from the right, the blue (sky) is glimpsed, the buildings with the balconies momentarily catch the imagination 'what's the view like?', the dabs of red (chimney, people) distract - why red, why these objects, what's the relationship?
The questions begin. What's the significance of the yellow? How do you envisage this photograph being used? Is photography just about aesthetics?
But, look at the sky, those clouds, what a wonderful day. Wouldn't it be lovely to be just sitting outside looking into the distance.

I agree it seems very hard for me to focus on one thing. My eyes are pulled all over the place. A great shot nonetheless. The clouds are awesome!

the whole pic is a little bit turbulent.
But: nice scene, good processing!
