Initial thoughts Interesting composition, meets the challenge, brightness and focus seem a bit off
Composition/ Content
I like the composition and the panorama feel of the shot. It is certainly interesting with the change in orientation of the houses. It seems to match the title well.
Background Although I like the panorama feel, a bit more of the background of the hill may have reinforced your title a bit.
Camera Work - Technical Focus seems a little bit soft and if possible, it would have been nicer to get a little closer to the interesting houses.
Digital Processing - Technical I noticed that your comments were mostly about soft focus. I don't know if this was straight from the camera but it certainly could use a little post processing. It is a little small and you only used 110kb of the 150kb allowed in file size. This in itself would have sharpened it up. It still needs a little sharpening and some contrast and saturation could have made this a really sharp shot.
Fits The Challenge Definitely fits the challenge well.
My Opinion On The Photo I originally scored this shot a seven. That may have been a bit high but I liked the way it matched the title of your shot. I think if it was a bit bigger and a bit sharper and brighter you would have really scored well. Good job, and keep up the good work.
I would be happy to talk further about this shot if you would like to contact me.

I would really like to see more of this scene. For me, the tight vertical crop hurts this image since the sharpness just isn't there. But, wow... what a pretty town! (6)
