Oh! Very, very good. I don't care if the lites are a bit 'hot', this is really superior. Incredibly good seeing. 10

The building to the left and the very bottom bothers me.

Lovely colors - the sy sets off the building very nicely. The shapes of the "creatures" are a perfect addition.

VERY good idea, ashame perspective is a bit off-putting for me. I would have also cropped the bulding on left off which kills a possible spiritual mood. Still very clever.

very clever to spot the parasol shapes but distracts from the challenge itself as they are not the real subject which, to me, is the roof. As for that, the building to the left and the lights and restaurant below take away from the geometry of the roof. how about repositioning your vantage point next time? and the monks will still be there for the right challenge!

Hotel Del! One of my favorite spots in all of San Diego.

Ha! This is a very nice shot, made even more so by a great title! Love the deep blue sky as well. Very nice!

Nice shot. A tad oversharpened (you can see a halo along the edges) and overexposed.

good exposure, not too little, not too much, just right

I say this of a lot of picture I comment on - I think you could have cropped the right third of this image. It would put more emphasis on the roof of the structure, and still maintain a "rule of thirds" composure (with the roof being in the left third). But nice photo.

I love your sense of humour. You just made me lought out loud. The title is absolutely perfect for this shot. Love the blue sky contrast with the brownish orange roof of Coronado Hotel. The two lamps are distracting a bit, but the shot wins it with it's humour.

Good eye. Would dearly love to see something done about the noise in the blue here, but I appreciate your dilemma with the black umbrellas and any kind of darkness.

How did you see that? -- Great vision

Very creative point of view! I love the monk effect.

The title really makes this shot. Some small overexposure issues, but the composition cleverly hides them I think. Overall, a good effort, and a fun picture to view and vote on.
