Roma -- Piazza San Pietro
by Rino63

Comment:
Ambiguous diagonal connection with this one - unless it s'posed to be the slightly skewed horizon impression. If so, perhaps taken it a bit further would have been in order here. Seems more like a tourist snapshot than a thoughtfully composed work of creativity. I'm pretty much a newbie here, though, so take my comments with a grain of salt - just 'cause I'm being critical doesn't mean I think MY stuff is doing any better! You'll likely lap my submission... Good luck!

With everything the building itself has to offer on its own, I would have liked this more if the flowers were not there...

Though the angles are there, I'm just not compelled to any particularly strong feeling by this shot.

Diagonal - sort of :: Interesting/compelling subject - not particularly :: creative composition - not particularly ::

Seems like you could have done more both at execution & in post with this one, but I'm pretty much a newbie here, though, so take my comments with a grain of salt - just 'cause I'm being critical doesn't mean I think MY stuff is doing any better! Good luck!

Effect feels a tad cliché-ish. I like the composition & detail, but I probably would have like it more as a straight b&w.

Seems dark & a bit flat overall - also, focus & intent is a bit ambiguous leaving me a bit uninterested.

You likely will do better than my submission... Good luck!

This just doesn't do it for me. Nothing powerful or compelling & as the title is a bit cliché it makes me feel like the idea is too.

Tight Lines

Great action shot, but I can't help but wonder if it wouldn't have looked better & met the challenge more head-on if it had been shot dutch. Maybe lower ISO & even higher shutter (plus opening the aperture a bit, of course) could have boosted the crispness, too?

Although this has the beginnings of something interesting, the perspective seems uninspired and the framing/cropping is unbalanced. The highlights are tipped a little to far into overexposure which isn't bad in and of itself except when it doesn't contribute to the image - I often like to bloom things a little but only when it will improve the mood.

Brilliant effect - but seems pointless & wasted on the globe. Effect for effects sake but entirely unmotivated; no story here for me.
