This is a very good photograph and thanks for the Photographer's Comments, it's very valuable to what technique photographers are using especially when achieving such spectacular results.

Aznym: This is indeed a most charming image captured to maximize its beauty. You did all you can do and many of us would have been lucky to have gone with this image. Very good work and do not let the under rating bother you. The image is stunning.

Unfortuneately the bridge doesn't stand out enough from the background to be a good subject. Nothing for the eye to rest on.

Very nice, but I don't like the color very much, I would like to see it maybe with dark blue color tones or in sepia tones.

Oooh! I was here just a couple of weeks ago (see portfolio for similar shots). Did you try to take a shot from the wooden walkway on the bank? Shakes like trampoline every time someone walks by! Very nice and moody sky and Liffey but the buildings and bridge seem a tad to contrasty. Nice shot overall.

This one has to grow on you a bit. I am not sure i would have chosen this color scheme, but I do like the shot very much. 8.

Wow, perfect balance and your tonal technique is amazing. Returned to this several times just to study it.

I like it how the water in front leeds me into the town. The bird in the sky makes it worth it to use so much sky. I also like the mood set with the bright sky and dark town foreground + the reflection. Toning is ok.

Wow, I like this, but wish it would be in color.

too much sky for me and the burning at the top

This is brilliant. This can easily pass as a book cover or poster. I mean a *real* poster. Simply beautiful and the use of a duotone color is great. The contrasty feel is so appropriate. Way to go! 8.

Now you're talkin'. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! The bird adds balance to a bottom heavy photo, well done. Although I love this, I would like to see more light on the buildings, just a little, so that I don't have to strain to see the details. Thanks!

The (accidental?) capture of the bird in this picture changes the score from somewhere round a 6 or 7 to a... 9
Well done
great feeling in the sky
good luck

I like the color of this photo and that ray of sun adds so much to the photo. Nice picture.

This is very cool, but the cityscape and bridge is just a little too dark.
