The B&W adds to this shot.

Looks so desolate. Strong atmosphere

I like the ripple effect and the water looks like a mirror, but the picture seems out of focus to me.
03/13/2009 04:21:34 PM
Hmm. Trying to figure out what the ripples have to do with the buildings and I am not coming up with anything.
03/13/2009 01:32:09 PM
Photo is a bit washed out and overexposed, unfortunately. Looks like a nice park though.

This seems to me like a valiant attempt to create an interesting image that failed in the execution. Well, mostly the jpg creation. It's pretty small, and you've got some major compression issues.

Nice design sense, good capture.
03/13/2009 05:33:21 AM
Nice ripple. Do I see a duck standing in the water?
03/12/2009 09:09:20 PM
Great ripple. Needs sharper focusing.
03/12/2009 02:21:42 PM
Aptly titled.
03/12/2009 12:17:32 PM
I would like to see the background clearer.
03/12/2009 10:46:50 AM
Nice!
03/12/2009 09:43:20 AM
Nice snapshot, a little too centered to my taste.
03/12/2009 08:11:32 AM
not too appealing , sky is blown out wish there was a more interesting point for the viewer to focus on. The ripple does not do it for me . sorry
03/12/2009 05:33:25 AM
a little busy, and over exposed, i would have cropped the top a little more to give the ripple better focus
03/12/2009 12:20:21 AM
neither composition nor content of this image carry much of interest. technicals are quite poor - tilted, blown lights, grainy, unsharp. rebate at edges makes me think this is a scanned image.
03/12/2009 12:17:42 AM
so-so interesting maybe color would have worked better
03/11/2009 07:23:09 PM
This doesn't excite me.. tones seem flat
03/11/2009 04:44:37 PM
Seems a bit snap-shotish. I shouldn't complain since apparently mine is as well. But it has potential with a little work on contrast, sharpness. Perhaps a different crop too.
03/11/2009 11:32:47 AM
I like the pattern of the ripple
03/11/2009 09:06:47 AM
Is this a joke?
03/11/2009 08:58:35 AM
Horizon looks a bit tilted and everything is out of focus.
03/11/2009 06:56:27 AM
This photo would be much improved if it were sharper. Did you use a tripod?
03/11/2009 06:28:39 AM
A little to tilted and bland for me.
03/11/2009 04:53:12 AM
nice black and white conversion
03/10/2009 11:53:16 PM
A nice feeling of symmetry to the foreground
03/10/2009 11:34:19 PM
a true Gem, where has this shot been hiding?
03/10/2009 08:19:23 PM
this is not necessarily a bad shot, but it doesn't speak to me...it seems to be a bit dull...did you straighten this and crop it leaving white on the edges?
