Brings back memories this one. I lived in Kani for two years (maybe 10 minutes away on the Meitetsu Train). As for the photo, you have presented some nice fall foliage with some crisp reds. Depending on where you metered from, it blew out the sky a touch to the left of the frame, but no biggie. I always had trouble getting shots on slightly hazy/bright days which your shot appears to have been taken on. Anyways, thanks for the reminder of the castle! TFS Brendon

Beautiful tones throughout this photo; captured really well. I like how the bottom of the frame/fountain transpires upwards with all the tones starting from the dark inner wall of the fountain, and then upwards to the grey midtone rim and then on to the little girl. The myriad of textures you've incorporated really meld together quite well from the fountain, to the water spray onto the wall/backdrop behind the little girl. Very spring like, and very innocent indeed. Well done Brendon

Very smart choice using the bridge as a foreground element to frame the riverbank scene in behind. If it was to stand on its own, it dont think it would have worked out. This way with the incorporation of the bridge; your telling a better story. Scene is composed very well, and sharp throughout. Good job! Brendon

Quite the landscape you have shown us Mohammad. A rather surreal blue hue across the sky - and the banding of it as it goes into a soft shade of purple and then into white. Nice use of the grass blades to compose the shot and provide depth to the scene. Question - what type of tree outlines the small village and streets? TFS Brendon

Hello there Beautiful scene encompassing the wisteria trees. I like the devotion you've given them vs. the rest of the scene. The people along the bottom have a very soft touch to them as per your exposure which I think was a smart choice. It really does give this photo a painting like quality. Im undecided over the bamboo pole that dominates the right side of the frame, one - it breaks up the scene of the trees and the purple tone that is given off which I think works in your favor. On the other hand though, it really sticks out like a sore thumb. I would like to see the shot (if possible) taken from a metre or so to the left and you just see the beautiful trees and their colour, but thats just me. Very nice serene photo TFS Brendon

Very Nice Bulent, I like the way that the man walking behind is cast as the dark shadow (a more devilish feel; which would have been rather humerous should the lady have been cast upon the display's left shoulder/our right). It really is neat how this one turned out as the white building and the window overhangs really appear bright, well more so then the man walking. Anyways, your subject was great, beautiful colours throughout. Kudos Brendon

First at bat after a long winter off and you hit it out of the park. Not too shabby at all. In fact where could one possibly lay fault! Beautifully smooth texture throughout the waterfront that reflects the skyline. I find that there are some wonderful scenes on TE (like the one you have portrayed) where the photographer leaves slivers of buildings cropped or otherwise on the sides of the frame detracting from the scene. Yours is well balanced from left to right - kudos! Very sharp/crisp scene - great job all around with this attempt. Waiting for more! Brendon

Very intriguing stance (I didnt suspect a bowler had that odd look). I must admit, a camera at a bowling alley isnt something I would relate to, but it goes to show that the world is laced with many fascinating subjects. For this one, your timing is spot on showing the release action of the bowler as they are moving forward. Very unique idea and a lesson learned about taking a camera wherever I go. Picture could be a touch sharper, and slighly more straight, but forgiving due to your low stance and possible tight quarters behind the bowler. Well done, Brendon

Ahh the midnight sun! When your mind cant decide for your body whether or not it's time for bed. I lived in Nanisivik, Nunavut for 2 years and witnessed the perpetual sun circle overhead for weeks at a time. I also saw the flip side; being the long dark days that loomed into the even darker nights. The midnight sun is a highly fascinating phenomena that allows the Inuits to hunt in continual cycles and prepare for the winter ahead. They would allow themselves brief breaks for cat naps and continue on without abandon. Your photo brings me back to a wonderful time, and the excitment felt by all with the nearing of the sun and the sadness when it's gone. The boat acts like a beacon amidsts the shadowy cliffs which emphasizes all the more. Including the dock/wooden structure as a foreground element proved well to break up the shot, so that it didnt shock the viewer with the brightness of the ship. Great scan you have provided along with a very informative note. Brendon

Welcome to TE Stu, Nice starting addition to this site. Very striking and poignant shot as this fello emerges from the smoke encompassed bakdrop. I think it even works well as him being the centre focus as opposed to being left/right framed. Could be a touch sharper (or it could be just me laptop screen?) All the best, Brendon
