I like the composition - the long lines with the figures in the distance adds life. I think other color choices would have added strength (or softness if you prefer) - but this color...

Comment by dacrazyrn:
I am not really thrilled with the yellow tone here. It really blows out the shudders/doors on the left. Overall it is just not that appealing of a color here. Sorry

This yellow looks works great. This looks like an old fasion type photograph. I like it.

Comment by kavamama:
Interesting choice of tone, though I think the yellow makes it look smoggy. Love the subject and perspective.

Saturated a bit too much - it's too "bright" for the yellow to look 'old.' Nice shot tho.

Great! I really looks like one of those really old pictures. Good job. Jacko. 8 I really like the perspective lines of the buildings.

Not enough contrast (there's no strong black) and the tonal color/intensity is horrendous! Way too much yellow in it. :(

I was going to mention the "postcardy" thing, but I see your reasons for not having it in your comments. As a result, I will comment strictly on the picture quality. (Note, I think it would make a nice postcard even without a "caption")

First of all, the lighting and focus on this is really good. The details in the rocks, water, and trees is visible and it has good clarity to it. I also like the different "layers" in the pictue. The water, then then rock structure, the the sky. It gives it a good solid feeling without being static, and the eye has several different things to look out without being overwhelmed. At first, I thought there was too much sky, but upon reevaluation, I think it balances nicely withe water.

The only thing I can suggest to improve this shot is to frame it a little more to the right so that more water, and less land, is showing. The shot looks cold to me, for some reason, but unless you are GOD, I don't think you can change that.

Very interesting. I imagine those big waves could be a bit intimidating.

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to PM me. Nice work, and best to you in future challenges.
