been there in 2009. I think you went a little overboard with processing here (to my taste), but it is a magical place, indeed.

Very nicely composed, and a beautiful scene - I think you could have stood to spool back the HDR a tad

Vivid enough to be a painting, no?

I think you might get comments that this is "overprocessed", but I love it. I can really appreciate taking an image and emphasizing its strong points, which is what you did here. Stunning. 10

Certainly what paintings are made of. This is really nice. I'd love to see it BIG.

This almost seems to be vibrating on the screen with those great colors. The BG works well to set the village off. Nice PP.

Very picturesque; but I have trouble with the buildings--they seem somewhat double imaged

Is this Cinque Terra? I'm not a fan of the pp'ing, just way too much, and I don't think this picturesque scene needed that.

I sooo would have bumped this up higher...but I'm not a fan of the "glow" from either Topaz/HDR...mind you I didn't give you a shabby vote (8), I'm just stating my opinion...this is an amazing picture for sure

The high sat level makes this enjoyably surreal.

Wonderful vantage point to see the colorful buildings, the boats docked and the sea beyond. Photo has a lot of visual interest to capture and hold my eye. A high above average shot (7) but I think it may suffer from being a tad bit too saturated with the processing. I love the color and the composition but I feel that the color is a bit overpowering to my eye. Scaling back the saturation just a touch but keeping the colors rich and not overpowering would strengthen the composition.
