whoa, I got dizzy just looking at it, it seems to spin on it's own. Very cool image though, I like it.

LOL this is awesome, can't wait to see if this is real or not. Nice depth of field and placement.

Simple but lots of class. I like the contrast the yellow and blue cause. The leaf could maybe use a little less brightness but still really nice.

On the most part this is a good image, your white balance is correct and the main subject is nicely in focus but the yellow light reflection on the base of statue is distracting and I think the background is too busy. Maybe a better depth of field would have blurred it enough to keep the attention on the statue.

Wonderful image. Love all the colors and lighting and the sky adds an extra feel to it. Great subject. Wish that white thing wasn't on the right side but very minor issue. Wish I could give more points.

Really like the way the image leads you into the picture. Great colors The hint of light at the far end is very pleasing.

This is very nice, different, and has a lot for the eye to take in...are those white things sheep on the hills? Love the dark foreground and vibrant colors in the center with the faded ones in the background. Good job.

My first comment was going to be WOW BLURRY and totally centered, but then I thought maybe it was the edge in the foreground that is supposed to be the main focus. It looks like you effectively used the depth of filed but I think this would have been more clear had the lighting been more on the front instead of towards the back or the blue thing was a lighter color that didn't get lost in the front shadow. Good attempt, hope I was able to help some.

This almost has an infrared feel to it but can't decide if it is or not. I like the dark sky and mountains with the white sand and clouds.

While this could be a good image your sky ends up ruining it. It is difficult to shoot from the shade into the sun, most cameas have a bracket function, check it out and see if a different exposure and maybe a flash could have helped this. A circular polerizer may also helped reduce the brightness too.
