Comment by Teafran:
The grayscale image with colored elements is fast becoming a meme in these challenges and it doesn't always work. The repetition of this type of image is fast becoming passe'. Having said that, this is very different and unigue - a solid image that is crisp, sharp and properly framed and composed - a technical success in every way. From an artistic standpoint, it has significant impact being richly colored with excellant detail. A perfect demonstration of the power of properly controlled light and focus. Well done.

Very nice photo!! good exposure and composition! imho, its not perfect because of the little "empty" space on the top "middle-left"...

Great texture and colour, though the shadowed sides on the left make the ovreall image feel unbalanced to me; I'd perhaps crop more tightly at the left.

I like the idea, but the composition isn't really working for me. It's too chaotic and I can't find any place for my eyes to settle.

Good theme capture. Maybe a little soft on the focus.

Comment by rachelellen:
Fascinating! Love the colors. Would be JUST a little nicer IMO if the crop had been tight enough to keep that one bit of open wall from showing in the upper left. Overall a great shot though!

Comment by MelonMusketeer:
I remember seeing this one in a challenge, and thinking "This looks like Silver Springs but it's short on flowers". The light on the columns adds a lot of interest, and the palm trunks repeating the vertical element of the columns is good too.
The one leaning palm behind the left column sort of disturbs the vertical line of the column in some way, and at the same time, gives the edge of the column something solid in the B G to define it. It's a complex picture, and there are a lot of elements that seem to be not exactly working in unison to bring out a strong subject or make the viewer's eye move through it to a subject. It's a good scene to study. The bright sky in the B G probably dinked the score pretty hard since it was in a F S challenge.
