Why not start your own thread entitled S_K Critiques Your Photos.
so if anybody wants you to do that they post in that one, if they don't they post in this one.

Problem solved.

Oi, David Bailey...allow me to explain how this works in real life.
Calm down with the critiques. You assume all your comments are welcome.
I for one don't want to read a "pro tip" every time I come in here to have a gander at what some of the members have posted. It's irritating!

good feedback. If I had a decent camera I would practice all this religiously. But until then, it's a hobbie .

Haha, the rule of thirds doesn't really work for this picture.
I'd go
1/3rd: Sky
1/3rd: castle
1/3rd: Ground
Now there's an awful lot of ground if you ask me.
Nice lighting, very nice.
Pity about the little spot of light on the left, coming from a streetlight.

All in all a very nice picture to look at

Yeah, I know. But at night the sky is black. Dark as Devil's soul, you know...

So we could say:

1/3rd: Palace
1/3rd: Smooth pavement
1/3rd: Cobbled pavement + puddle

Circumstances, man, circumstances. Circumstances are everything. At night, I need a surface to rest the camera on. And there only were bollards there. You know, one of these:



So perspective was determined by a bollard's location.

Ooops, nearly forgot;

[s_k]

That helps.

I'll stop commenting then .
If anyone wants a comment on the technical bit of the photo, just ask.

[s_k]

Hahaha, allright. Diggin' your excuses .

But, hey, when circumstances are on my side, I try to seize the occasion. Especially considering that Matrix's skies use to be gorgeous. This sunrise is from February:

I think there are several favorable converging factors here: the blood-red sky, those plane contrails, sun's position and the central building. The "shy" Sun seems to be hiding itself. And to me, it looks as if it were about to move left, instead of rising up. A curious effect.
