This is a nice composition. I like the 'steps' that lead the my eye up to the statue at the top. This is a really neat subject. I'm curious if it is lit at night as well... there may be some strong opportunities for a night shot with this scene.
The post processing here created some damage in this photograph tho. I don't like the 'halo' around the statue at the top of the frame. I'm not sure if that is a result of the burn tool or not but it feels odd to me. Looking at your camera settings, you may have been able to get the top area of this frame sharper as well with a smaller aperture. I can't really see any advantage of not having everything sharp in this scene...
Interesting subject and good viewpoint. This has been spoiled though only by some heavy use of dodge & burn and the shad/hilite filter making it look very surreal and unbalanced.
What a captivating shot ! The colors are gorgeous.The fountain bowls leading the viewers eyes to the top of the shot is an excellent use of leading lines. Hope you score well !
Like the repitition of the water basins, plus those basins make my eye follow that line down. I don't like the pink sky for some reason though, I think it takes away from the picture a bit.
Sensational photograph. I like it how much the water troughs stand out against the rest of the picture. I'm assuming it would have been quite difficult, but I think that the glow around the statue at the top gives away the post processing. Maybe it would have been better 1 or 2 pixels softness instead?
The appearance of black outlines around the trees and halo around the sculpture appear to be from oversharpening. I like the detail in the fountain but the background I find distracting. I think you could've also placed the statue all the way in the corner of the upper right of the frame.
What a cool place. I imagine this was challenging to photograph. Whenever I go somewhere like this I think "wow, I'm going to get some awesome shot," and then somehow I get none. You've done a much better job than I imagine I would have. The only thing bothering me about it is the sky. Something seems unnatural about it. I love the rest of the image. 8
