Hi Manu, First of all the frame, I definately like that. I think a thin line around the image would emphasise the abrupt transition between photo and frame, adding the finishing touch. The squared format around a rectangular photo is quite heavy, but in this case it fits well. Purely subjective issue, though.
Clean shot, with very nice deep tones and contrasts. Good, solid shot.
Cheers,
Hugo

Many thanks as usual for your constructive comments. You're right I chose the thick, heavy frame to emphasise the building. I tried may different sizes and shapes of frames and decided on this one. Once I have mastered PS frames a little more I will try and add the thin line that you mention.
Pleased you liked it and cheers for now
Manu

Great composition and colors on the image..and I too, love this frame on this shot. I use PS Elements, and you can make a very thin line around a picture, simply by choosing resize, cancas size, then choosing the color you would like, and changing the numbers to what size you'd like. This may also be the case in PS other editions. I have 6.0 but never use it. I've not really had time to play with it. Good work, Manu.

Hi Manu,
the frame is always good to concentrate the viewer to the bottom line, you succeeded here for me. It also change a bit the feeling for the perspective. Everything seems to be brought closer together.
Beside of the frame, the composition works pretty fine for me.
Cheers,
Verena

Sometimes I think its nice to keep an image square and using the border to do this can help a lot. But I feel the above border detracts from the image in general. Its not in harmony with the composition - sort of "doesnt feel right" (although you have to experiment to know what does/doesn't work).
As for your way of working, well I think you are right to shoot for colours but wrong to to that only. Look at the best images on this site - they have a combination of great colour and technically great composition - so dont sell yourself short, go all out when taking any shot. I like the above image - and I think the black helps to focus the viewer on what you are trying to achieve here, but next time dont aim to be ordinary because your work to date suggests you are well capable of great things.

Many thanks for your comments Shane.
What I look for in my picture is balance, composition and color....does it sit right on the page. Then I look at technique. I am always learning at this game so your personal comments are always welcome.
Cheers
Manu
