A differenza di tante altre tue foto, questa non mi ispira niente di particolare. La citta' sembra quasi nascosta, in basso, e in parte coperta dagli alberi. Il lampione sulla destra che si 'scontra' con un ramo non e' il massimo, anche. I colori della foto sono belli ma gli alberi, che prendono molta importanza, sono un po' troppo in ombra secondo me, specie quello piu' a sinistra. Forse con qualcuno sulla panchina avrebbe assunto tutto un altro significato ma, onestamente, cosi' com'e' mi meraviglio che abbia tutti 7: cosi' sembra di sminuire le altre tue bellissime foto con uguale punteggio. 
Ciao,Luca

Well executed, but I personally don't like this kind of pictures, usually. I much prefer to see the subject in focus and blurred background to convey the impression of motion. You couldn't have done it here with subjects moving in opposite directions, of course. The problem I have, for instance, is that you can't see the bike. Sure, it's a cyclist, but it gives a somehow "ghosty" impression.

Hi John, you are probably right. The monitor might have something to do with it as well. Thanks for taking the time to discuss the comments.

It looks a little soft to me, but the main problem is the overexposed sky, which really spoils an otherwise beutiful picture. I like the composition a lot, for instance, expecially the line between the puddle, the gap in the grass and the distant part of the lake.

Mi piace molto la luce della parte bassa della foto. La nuvola nera da' un'aria molto cupa che complementa bene la luce della casa, secondo me; l'effetto e' appena un po rovinato dalle nuvole centrali molto chiare. Il senso di profondita' e' reso ottimamente, credo grazie allo sharpening (che settings usi, per curiosita'?).

I like the composition, but the photo looks rather oversharpened. The top is rather washed out, too.

I like the tonality and the overall mood of the picture, that reminds me of something like Blade Runner. The water reflected on the surface helps this feeling, at least for me, whereas the rightmost scooter spoils it a little.

Light on the face seems fine to me; there might be some problems on the back and the paws don't seem well defined, but it's a minor thing at worst. The expression is wonderful and the black and white contributes to a very serene atmosphere. I am putting it in my favorites and giving it an almost perfect score (rare for me).

The light gives a very nice touch of difference to what might have been just another picture of a flower. Why cutting some of the petals away, though ?

The light is fantastic and the colors render the desert scene very well. The picture, however, looks a little compressed/tilted to my eye and doesn't really give an idea of the dimension of the place; maybe a vertical crop would have been better, I don't know.

Secondo me la luce del sole e' un pochino troppo forte e forse c'e' un po' troppo viola nella foto, ma forse e' solo il controluce che da' questa impressione I riflessi sulla neve sono stupendi e anche i raggi mi piacciono molto (hai usato un filtro?)

A very moody picture, congratulations. I'd like to know where you shot it, if you could edit your description it would be great. It fits perfectly with my mental image of the african savanah, although I guess it might be Australia as well. The straight line in the middle of the sky looks a little weird, what is it?

Hi Steven. I must say that this is not one of your finest pictures. The sky is badly overexposed and the birds are lost in the middle of nothing. It also seems just a little noisy.

PS: you have some nice picture with very few comments, I'll come back to your portfolio in the next few days.

Wonderful picture ! I am giving it a perfect score, which is not common for me, and putting it in my favorites. THe colors are superb and it is extremely sharp and well defined. I really like how the jelly fish is moving towards the light and how the 'tentacles' (missing the word) give a sense of motion. The only suggestion I have: change the category from 'wild life' to 'deep blue'.

I colori sembrano un pochino spenti e piatti sul mio monitor. Il soggetto non e' troppo interessante per il mio gusto personale, ma lo hai reso bene, da cartolina.

Ad essere sincero a me la nuvola non piace tanto, anche se non ti so spiegare bene il perche'. Mi da' un po' l'idea di essere attaccata sulla foto, invece di fare parte di essa; inoltre una 'macchia' di bianco cosi' grossa toglie attenzione al resto, a mio parere. Gia' che sono in vena di critiche , aggiungo anche che lo stacco fra il cielo e la collina e' un pochino forte per i miei gusti. Avendo scritto tutto questo, la foto rimane comunque molto bella !

Una foto davvero strana ... e attraente. L'inclinazione mi disturba un pochino, ma il colore davvero anomalo la fa passare decisamente in secondo piano. Continua a cadermi l'occhio sullo sprazzo di verde illuminato, che si complementa molto bene al giallo secondo me.

Nice subject ! I think, however, that the piper is a little lost in the frame, maybe it would have been better if it was more zoomed in. The picture also looks a little overexposed and washed out. I think you rendered the climb of the piper very well.

I have a similar picture, but yours is much better! Why did you choose to desaturate the background ? Light, colors and details are very well executed.

I must say I am a little disappointed to discover a face under a very interesting and attractive 'object'. The blue light looks like some ice sculpture, I think because of the color and the vertical reflections. The face in the background spoils the feeling, in my opinion.

I like the geometry of the flower, infact I think that a crop to leave the flower exactly in the center would be even better. The colors are nice, although there seem to be some small patches slightly overexpsed. I think I would also have preferred a larger DOF, to have the top of the flower in focus.
There seem to be some dirt all around, maybe dust from the scanner, by the way.

The sky attracts the most in this picture. The streak of clouds launching the subject out from the rock are nice, as well, but the blu sky looks superb.

Interesting composition, with the flame from the torch on the left (what is it, exactly?) pointing towards the fire. The fire itself looks well exposed and represented, whereas I find the overexposed part of the left flame a little distracting. All the black makes the picture look rather empty, I can't decide if it's a good or bad thing, though

I agree with the comment stating that the crop is a little tight on the right, whereas I wouldn't crop the sky at the top. I might also prefer some more space on the left, but not as much as the other picture of yours in landscape orientation. As I wrote in the other comment, wonderful colors and great position for the sun.

I prefer the vertical crop, too. The color of the sky is just wonderful and the branches seem to have the same direction of the clouds, which is nice.

I agree about the noisy/grainy sky, but it's not too evident. I love the colors, just as you say, and the lamppost on the right. I feel that there is a little too much black in the picture, though.

Bella foto, fa sembrare lo 'stagno' molto meglio di quanto sia in realta' Molto bello il riflesso, ma forse taglierei la parte in alto dove e' piu' 'blu' e foschiosa.
