Hello from the critique club...

It appears that you have already gotten a pretty in depth critique from skewsme. I agree dpc can be a tough crowd but you can learn a ton here. For the most part I agree with her. However I think the lighting is ok but the sky is a little bit blown out. Hey keep it up. Happy shooting.

This was a tough challenge because most people don't like photos of monuments to begin with. And then, you have a few things going on here that 'the typical dpc voter' will mark down. Blurry stuff in the foreground, subject is not the most focused thing in the shot, colors are rather drab, light is not interesting or directional, seems like buddha and sky may be a little overexposed... yeah it's a tough crowd. There are some other voters here who will applaud you if you dare to take risks in your shot or its processing, but that probably won't improve your score. If this were mine, I might have tried for a mystical feel with some gaussian blur or glowy processing and more color saturation, and nonetheless landed at the same score ;-) Learn all you can, but ultimately, make images to please yourself.

Looks peaceful. Unfortunately, this was not an image I scored very high (4). For me, I think there my be more choices to the composition. I am never one to crit someone's vision. Because it's your vision. But for me personally, the trees on the left make me uncomfortable in what I feel should be a tranquil setting. Good Luck!
