Hello Steve,

nice picture. I like the off-centered position of the fontain with the buildings and flags in the background. One ineressting thing. In normal forum browser view (grey screen background) the image looks well exposed to me. In the lightbox (black screen background) it a little bit too bright for me. Btw, did not see any CAs here :-)

Actually I don't look for CA normally, if I see something that doesn't look right I try to put it right, with CA I normally try a desaturate brush if it's worth the bother that is, cheers Robert.

Nice effort, just a tad too much contrast on the bushes in background which overshadows the foreground statue. I read that dark backgrounds can help a composition but your main subject lacks color and has to rely on shadows and shape to attract the eye.
