Great shot, and I agree with Kyricom about the building !

kyricom says:

Very, very nice. And... I think the building doesn't look 100% straight because... the building isn't straight. Look to the water line. That will always tell you if things are horozontal or not. looks pretty good to me.

Great composition! The tree on the right beautifully balances the open area on the left, with the sheep balancing the building and darker area in the distance. Well done!

I am always impressed that people can do this type of thing with food...The front flash is a bit overpowering, but it is still a very impressive subject.

Wow, it's lovely shot. If we can display more of the water reflection while maintaining the darkness degree of the side of the image. It's probably only my feeling that the building is not 100% straight, but I might be wrong Maybe shooting it a bit more tighter to give focus on the illuminated bridge, including the boat underneath the bridge and the lamp? But, it's a very well done photo - thumbs up

It's hard to tell how low you were, there's not enough ground showing to provide a visual reference point for the viewer.

Beautiful focus, HDR? The lighting of the clouds provides a beautiful framing effect, I just wish it had more of a "grounded" feel...

I think I figured this one out...The water is actually going into the bottle, not out, right? (I've been thinking so hard for a couple of hours now...smoke's been coming out of my ears as my brain gears have overheated!)

Very interesting shot. Good lighting!

I like this photo, but something isn't quite right, I think the bridge is too centred. Horizon is also slightly crocked.
I would try cropping it, Perhaps just below the middle chimney and most of the house on the right, just leave a slight bit of the house.
Only a suggestion.

Railway
avatar MossyB
MossyB says:

There's no ink in the inkwell, and it seems too disconnected from the rest of the image, which is compounded by the positioning. If it had been angled about 45 degrees, the visual movement would have echoed the pen and stamp, making it more a part of the overall composition.

I don't think tiles are writing tools. Thats like saying paper or glass is a writing, tools, yes, they both have words and can be used to create words, but they are not writing instruments themselves

avatar friiskiwi
friiskiwi says:

Personally I would crop out most of the writing and a little of the right. Really cutting out 50% of the image. This is just my opinion, but it's about writing instruments, not about writing.
Good luck, and do what you feel happy with.

Kanji is written with paint brushes, since kanji uses paint brushes, does that mean it's not letters?
