Great image. Reminds me of the Mitchell Park Conservatory ("the domes") in Milwaukee that my dad dragged us to as kids almost every Sunday so he could photograph.
I really like your work with tones - such a broad range of light/dark really holds my eye with the gradation -- this also strengthens the compositional elements -- your ability to notice the scene, frame the expression of it with just the right placement of elements - wonderful (scored a 7 during the challenge)
Love the composition of this shot. Really leads the eyes in. Could actually fit a number of challenges at the moment. I hope you are going to print this one - deserves a more permanent place. A great image - well done. 10
Gorgeous processing. The crop is perfect, but I still wonder about the dead-on view of the wading pool with typical perspective lines. Even so, it's a real pleasure to look at.
I like your subject choice and I love the toning. The only thing I can't figure is why the water is so dark when the sky above is not. Cool shot, though.
ooo if you know anyone who skateboards, i think this would be a great place to get photos of someone jumping the pool. you'd get the coolest reflection ever, especially if you could remove the statue. you should totally try it
An absolutely stunning image and one of my top three for the challenge. I love the centred composition and the fact that even though the two trees to the left and right are at different angles they somehow add to the symettry of the shot. Lovely duotone conversion. Good Luck 9
