Hi John, those two people to the left spoil an otherwise really nice shot.

I agree with Werner... The lighting balance between the interior and exterior is quite interesting...

The lighting is beautiful

Yes, I wonder about cropping a little tighter to remove half of the left arch. But retaining half of the figure and the far distance view.

Hi Werner,

Thanks for the comments. I thought about cropping them out but they sort of add to the lads lost thoughts, he seems so wrapped up in his own world that he doesn't appreciate what is around him. Just my take on the image.

The half crop doesn't really work, tried another version.

I like them both, a lot, but prefer #2

Thank you for sharing John... Looks like a beautiful place to visit, lucky you.

I really like images #9 (for the light) and #10, and especially #10 for the composition.

Aside... There is a dust spot on #10.

Thanks for the comments and critique. The first image is a photography no-no, but I liked the gritty feel of the image, also too much foreground.

I've tried everything to clean that dust spot, may have to take it in.
