Nicely processed.. Your shot brings out a lot of detail in the buildings by the shore.

Was this taken from the base of the lighthouse? I was there last year (My Dad lives there).. Interesting place.

Dramatic photo I quite like.

The softness on the row of houses hurts this other wise very effective shot. 7

Love the lighting highlights on the white row of buildings with red roofs. The structures at the top of the hill are tantalizingly interesting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Excellent post processing with great sharpness and detail.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 04:37:20 PM
Nice composition, would be better with a subtler HDR effect
  Photographer found comment helpful.

a little over processed IMO, the halo between sky and earth is a little distracting.
03/15/2009 11:26:25 AM
looks like a wonderful place to visit, i like the post procesing

Very nice image. It's good to see a few "great" images. This is a perfect reflection of your abilities as a photographer.

Great PP job - love the tone - keeep up the good work and good luck in this challenge
  Photographer found comment helpful.

The HDR-like treatment of this image is a little too heavy for my eyes - IMO the scene would benefit from a more delicate application of this editing style.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 11:14:41 PM
so dramatic love that sky
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 10:58:17 PM
A lovely scene, I like all those red roofed houses along the hillside. The HDR is a bit overdone for my tastes but I am not a fan of HDR.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 08:10:41 PM
Houses are over exp. Darker would do fine.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 04:48:44 PM
The castle looks a little too shaded but a great looking take overall
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 03:48:43 PM
Beautiful piocture!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 03:41:51 PM
Beautiful landscape which I don't feel needed to be so processed
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 02:41:19 PM
One of my favourite places! I like this composition, and the tone-mapping works well to bring out the sky as well as the land and water. It is a bit of a shame that the colour of the cottages on the harbour side has been leached out, as that is one of the aspects of Whitby that i find most charming.

Coming back to comment...

So European, so quaint, lovely hdr rendition! 10

Beautiful view of the village and the abbey. The postprocessing gives this a dramatic feeling.

Love the editing work. Gorgeous landscape and good detail. 8

Interesting looking place. Those clouds look ominous.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Good shot to give the HDR treatment
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 07:55:11 PM
Good pic but I would've liked to see more in focus.
03/12/2009 07:49:48 PM
The lighting has a very unnatural feel.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 01:55:25 PM
The post on this works well for the clouds but a lot of the light depth of the sky is lost. The overall depth works well here but the composition leaves this viewer wanting...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 12:15:43 PM
nice shot
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 08:41:49 AM
The clouds look menacing.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 01:01:13 AM
I like the overall picture, in general, but the processing seems a bit heavy for my personal taste.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 08:08:47 PM
What a wonderful palette of textures to feast upon!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 04:00:29 PM
Nice moody sky, the ruins on the hill look great
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 01:39:18 PM
Whitby is heritage, so there's a point just for being Whitby. Magnificent foreboding sky, too. Just a wee bit of that HDR/painted postcard look hits me...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 01:06:59 PM
Good verticals, good composition, the wharf and road make great leading lines
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 05:11:07 AM
Like looking at two pages of history at the same time! A lovely vista presented quite well and a good shot to linger with. Those structures on top of the hill are very impressive!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 02:47:49 AM
nice effects
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 12:11:40 AM
Perhaps another composition with something more dominant as the subject. Perhaps a rule of thirds composition? Great processing and light, though.
