The lightening and forced perspective on a black backdrop, works perfectly. The only thing is the lower left hand corner is broken up by the change of pattern and color against what is a uniform looking building. Maybe crop the bottom more to get rid of that? Just my opinion, but still an overall amazing shot.

Amazing shot! Definitely an amazing eye to see that and get the framing of the shot you did! There isn't one thing I would change about it. One of my favorite shots I have seen in a while.

The perspective you force by having more sky than land works perfectly! Has a very soft, and calming, yet magnificent feel to the shot. Great work!

Great eye! Only wish the reflection of the hexagon and trees didn't show up on the window. But definitely an unique shot. I absolutely seeing loved Topkapi Palace! Teşekkürler!

Absolutely amazing shot! My only critique is I wish the reflection in the water was a little more crisp to almost be an exact reflection. Also the light at the top tends to draw my eye away from focusing on the water and the reflections. The colors work very well together well. Excellent shot!

The texture from the tree and the squirrel against the blown out background, is amazing. I love this shot.

Great shot! Although I feel my eye is immediately drawn to the base of the flower. Maybe its just my eye, but non the less, still an amazing shot!

Great shot, I'm a huge fan of landscape. However as others have said unfortunately its a little blown out (over saturated). Photoshop could help that if you use that, or under exposing your image as well. Still a great view!

It wasn't something I noticed at first. I just happen to turn around at the top of the crater, and noticed a little lighthouse on the coast. Definitely turned out really well. Thank you!

Thank you for the correct name! I was going off memory, and clearly it failed me. And yes it was a beautiful day and the clouds were absolutely perfect.

God is clearly a Longhorn Fan (The University of Texas), why else would the sunsets be burnt orange? 
I will have to come up to Illinois and travel further south to get some nice shots of the open fields like you have.

I have been to Chicago, and it was very nice!
I will have to get a nice Texas Sunset shot and we can compare them then ;)
And glad to know that you do check in on my portfolio, it is slowly but surely building into what I think a solid one.

Great reflection shot.
Water is one of my favorite subjects for this reason. A very beautiful area where you live.

Very nice shot!
The only thing bugs me a little is my eye is drawn to the lens flare on the left side of the shot almost immediately. If that could be photoshopped out to give a nice even light across the picture, I personally would like it more.
Keep up the great work!

Very nice looking car.
An interesting idea that came to mind was playing with the shutter speed. If you have another chance, try seeing what you get with slower shutter speeds (creating a blur effect). It may be completely gone, but would be fun to play with.
Keep up the great work!

Very nice tone and feel to the picture. A possible wide angle view that extended to the left more could have added to the picture, but still very nice.
Keep up the good work!

Great picture!
The only thing I would have to done is possibly crop the left side of the picture to the edge of the wall. The light from the background throws off the grittiness, and the feel of the picture a little.
Keep up the good work!

Reminds me of something I would see from the movie Gladiator...
This has a very dramatic feel, and the black and white, and the angle of the shot just emphasizes the dramatic effect.
Very well done!
