Nico: It took me a while to figure out what the photo was about. I like it. The "light balls" are glowing as if on a Christmas tree, with the village being the tree.

Roland: Congratulations on both images. If you had taken a vertical shot of exactly the same spot where you took the horizontal shot, I would have preferred it. There is too much fog in the vertical photo at the top of the image and also the stones on the walkway show better in the horizontal photo. Did you change location and were the two photos taken at the same time with the same lens?

raid: I can really walk into this photo, so expansive. The stepped slope of trees really draw me to the center. The features on the side of this mountain/cliff also look like a face (dark grey left eye, light brown right eye, dark mouth in the center). The snow has this really sweet glow that goes great with the rich earth tones on the left. Is this large format?
ferider: this looks beautiful, I hope I can visit this place some time. I like the look of the paved stones on the tall vertical, esp. in b&w, but I feel a bit claustrophobic with it. I like the mix of colors in the other one - really tasty, just like raid's. Definitely feel better "walking" in this photo. Maybe cropping out the blue on the left may lend to the dreamy-ness of this scene? But I'd reserve that call until after the large print is made.
ampguy: I like the barn with it's open door and the dark covered section on the left (not sure what that's called) - I'm curious about what is lying in the grass in the right hand side? I'd like to see this same barn, but maybe taken 20 feet back and more from the right - a nice angle to kind of peer into the barn.
nico: cool arrangement of houses, the contrast adds to their angular shape. I wish I could make out more of the foreground, it seems like the same road I see running through the center. I like this night shot, and there's detail in it that would be nice to see a larger version.

Hi,
sorry for posting so late (as usual) my thought about the photos:
Raid,
i like it very much; this landscape would be perfect for movies like "Never ending story", it has a pleasant dreamy mood. I also like the light and the composition. I don't really know how to improve this shot, I like it the way it is.
Rmcamero:
interesting shot, you broke the rules of composition (placing the tree in the middle of the shot) and it works well here. I also like the perspective.
I'd only be curious to see a second version with foreground and background focused (with hyperfocal setting if possible).
Ampguy:
the classic american farm landscape is a subject I like but in this one I'd like to see only the main building (without the one on the left) using the dof for the background.
Ferider:
if you have to choose wich to print I can't help because i like both! Great fiabesque mood (I've never been there although is just a couple of hours far from Lucca but I think this winter in a rainy afternoon I'll go for a short trip ... i I have to take a photo too!!). It's the castle as it should be in the tales for kids!
Maybe - but it's my taste - i'd print a larger version of the horizontal one which has a more dynamic composition and shows more details of the castle;
in the other the castle is a little bit too far but this makes the shot more mysterious and intriguing and ... I can't make up my mind!!
Bye

As for my posted image, I was enjoying the views at Zion National Park, crossing over the pass to Bryce Canyon National Park when I looked up and saw this view. I liked the ruggedness and the powder snow on the cliffs. A 300mm lens was used to isolate the rest of the mountain from this view.
Thanks for a nice discussion and critique session, guys.

The Tree is a 5 min. walk at work (college campus) - the comments are great, and one of these breaks I'll revisit. There is constant construction and remodeling going on around the tree, so maybe I'll treat it as a short term 'assignment'
Thanks for sharing the great photos and comments!
