Thanks for the comments guys!

I like the first one, Liking the colour of the Sky too, really rich deep blue.

Guys, any chance you can say WHY you liked the photo? To simply say X and X are the best are nice comments but it would help the photographer greatly if you could say why you liked it so they can keep it in mind for next time

The first one, I love the deep blue colours and the contrasting colour of the stone. The horizon line is slightly angled or the photo gives the illusion of it being angled. The shadow by the figures is a little bit of a shame however I feel the positioning of that part of the wall is good. Is more on the left line of the Rule of thirds.

The second shot is really good. Great composition, brilliant angle and that sunburst from the cloud is really cool. Again vibrant blues and I feel you captured the cloud in a really good position.

Last shot is a cracker too. I love the tight crop on it and the symmetry works exceptionally well. Gotta love the timing of the capture with those guys kicking out. Great shot

The first one has a nicely exposed sky, but overexposed foreground. How the fuck did you manage that (can't see any obvious filter lines). Tone down the foreground a little and you have a winner.

The second is a great shot. My kind of perspective and the sun positioning works well.

I think I like the third best though. Love the perfect symmetry of the guards and the stiching is excellent.

2nd one for me mate, I love that angle and the cloud. I can't say much more than that, but I might well be asking for a desktop version soon.

I really like the last too, as has been said the symmetry of the guards is a bit weird and special, put on the panoramic (right word?) background, I think it really works.

I am sorry to say haowever that the first shot doesn't work it for me, It's a cracking shot but I just don't feel as 'involved'

Excuse my spelling and punctuation.

thanks for the comments mate, first picture i kept trying to line up the horizon, but it looked weird, that was the best angle i could get to work.
spent two weeks there, and the one day i visit that site, i managed to get a cloudy day to at least give a bit of interest in the sky, waited for a while to get perfect angle with the cloud as well

and you have no idea how many shots i took of those soldiers to get the one i was happy with

Thanks, thats what i was trying for there

I used an underexposed image, and pumped it up a bit to get it to look like that, it might look a wee bit over saturated now im looking at it again so i`ll have another play with it PS tonight, thanks for pointing it out

Thanks mate, happy with the 2nd and 3rd one myself, but on looking this morning the first one could do with a wee bit of tweaking again

nice series, the last one being my fav, monitors dont do panos justice but that onre looks well, nice angle on the second one too..

**demonology** · 11th November 2008

love the 3rd and 2nd shot ............3rd is stunning though, nice one mmg

**peterc4** · 11th November 2008

nice series, monitors do panos no favours but that one looks well, nice angle on the second one aswell, the ist is a nice pic but is a bit to square if that makes sense
