**** Greeting from the Critique Club ****
Compostion
- Good or Bad? How can it be fixed? The composition is okay, but you missed an opportunity to get a better reflection of the temple in the puddle in the foreground. With the hazy/cloudy weather you really have to squint to see the temples which make this site famous. I do like the leading lines of the stones and path. There are mixed emotions about the blurry guy, and I share those mixed feeling. I usually don't like Blurred people in scenes, but this one doesn't bug me.
- Is there anything that should be removed? The top third of the image. Lose the overexposed sky and the temple stands out.
- Good use of Depth of Field? Yes.
- Good focus? The issues that commentors are having don't having to do with the focus so much as the length of the exposure. Bump it up to ISO 200 or 400 and you'll get much better reactions because your people won't be out-of-focus.
Lighting
- Good use of light? The lighting is questionable. The clouds are blown out, but the details along the edges of the path are lost.
Aesthetics/Artistic Appeal:
- What is my reaction or feelings? I share the opinion that the viewpoint is powerful in this image. My eye keeps going into those clouds though. You may have intentionally or unintentionally wanted them in the image, but they don't help it. |

| I like the low angle of this shot - gives it depth. The bluury guy - big distraction! Sky is over-exposed. |

| I like the perspective on this shot and the wonderful lighting in the puddle, although I feel that it could do with a slight anti-clockwise rotation, as it doesn't look quite straight. |

| I like the motion blur on the person. I think it would be even more effective if everyone was blurred. |

| Wish the gentleman on the left wasn't blurry, but thanks for stirring up wonderful memories of Angkor Wat. Such a special place. |

| Nice effect to blur the nearest person (is it motion blur or did you do it ouside the camera?) The path and pudddle both seem to glow. While there are some nice leading lines, the destination is less interesting than the journey (How symbolic) |
