Hi Mark. I really like the perspective of this shot on a subject that is larger than life. I can see a few things which I feel may have hindered your submission from getting a higher score. Firstly, the shot seems to be somewhat washed out. Had you sharpened the image a bit more and used shadows/highlghts, it may have drawn out greater detail. Secondly,the columns edges appear to have some "sawtoothing" on them. Not knowing what your origianl was like or at what iamge quality you had been shooting, I'll say you may have cropped too small. Along the "frieze? line" I can see that your contrast is out of whack. This is a very delicate thing to tune and it mushed out that part of the photo. I believe these elements had cost some points. Good luck in future challenges.

I like the perspective. The coloring on the columns seems...odd in some way, but I can't quite put my finger on why - sorry.

Bernard Maybeck architecture :) Beautiful lines. Could be a tad sharper though. 6

Classical architecture in perspective--I like the composition and theme, however the photo quality seems a bit to contrastyand the sky seems overdone--good potential.
